Delightful! Insightful! This was waiting for me when I got to San Antonio last Wednesday, and it was marvelous to be reading it while I was on a trip myself.

One of the things I liked about Raven’s Roads is that I’ve never been to any of the places Raven described, so all the landscapes were new and fascinating to me.

Here’s a line that’s oh-so-true: (from page 116) “Even if nothing else good happened on this trip, this would always be a memory I could treasure.” She wrote it about riding a horse, and on my trip, it was the clouds of brown butterflies so thick they hid the shrubs they surrounded.

The idea about Popes and kings having little to do with individuals at the kiva and mission (on page 114) was well-expressed (as were all the ideas in the entire book — that travel trailer pod must have a magical effect on writing talent!).

I, also, like to find special stones and return them to the earth at what feels like the right time. It’s about the only “New Age” thing I do anymore, and so it was affirming to read about Linda’s and Alan’s rock experiences.
