Wild Rivers NM

September 15, 2017

Wild Rivers was insane. Walking down to the river and spending all day by it (the Rio Grande) was great. I had a very experiential moment here at Wild Rivers. It was a very sensory moment (hour or so) where I was sitting by the river looking at the sun with my eyes closed. When I do this a particular pattern (both organic and geometric) is out in front of me. It is like energy or light that moves. Normally the pattern is recognizable and doesn’t alter much in Albuquerque. But here the light began changing rapidly moving and guiding me. From this a more concrete and consolidated pattern emerged and finally I flashed into a crisp view of a river (different from the one in front of me).

I then covered by eyes with my hands and the same process happened and I was underwater in a blue-purple water looking at white rocks.

I think the large heated rocks by the Rio Grande and the sun’s energy and the noises of the Rio Grande yielded this experience. Maybe too much sun did too.
