Susun and I spent Sunday hiking in the Red Rock Wilderness outside Sedona. It was a beautiful with lovely light and shadows, blue bird skies, and calm breezes. Locoweed and rock cress were blooming and plenty of lizards were scurrying amongst the rocks. After our 2 1/2 hour jaunt we stopped by this new place called "JohnofGod" or something like that to see what it was. Some Brazillian guy who has a big following in the kind of way that always reminds me of Jonestown and kool-aid. This guy probably isn't evil, but it was annoying to see someone like that get a stronghold into Sedona. But then, there are a virtual plethora of New Age wannabees lining up on the block to capture the essence of Sedona and Red Rock country and sell its spirituality to the needy and unwary. Susan and I had good laugh about the place. We don't need a building to get our "religion" or find it. I find mine in the solace of the red rocks and the whitewater.
