• The Mother Range

  Past, Present and Future
  come together effortlessly.

  Somewhere in the mountain
  Indian's timeless spell,
  framed by stately 18th century
  Spanish architecture and
  peppered with modern
  electronic gadgetry, is a
  small quiet town whose
  women are beautiful
  and men handsome.

  This Shangri-La, at
  the very end of paved
  road from the west,
  is Alamos Sonora, Mexico.

  From here, looking east,
  one's imagination is
  stirred by the forbidding,
  virtually impenetrable
  Sierra Madre Occidentals.
  This is the legendary
  "Mother Range" protecting
  Mexico's great central plateau.

  Behold ridge after volcanic
  ridge, separated by deep
  narrow canyons, marching
  on for a hundred miles, and
  climbing to 10,000 feet
  where giant hawks
  and eagles soar.

  The monumental silence
  is all powerful.

  Time is reduced to mere
  sand, worn off of towering
  rock faces and carried
  away with the winds.
  These endless ridges
  conjure up stark silhouettes
  of reclining warriors, upon
  whose barren stomachs
  humble life persists.

  Over the horizon, to the
  southwest, is the famous
  Copper Canyon region.

  The eye continues to sweep
  the horizon and returns,
  as it always does,
  to the cathedral's classically
  proportioned three-tiered
  belfry announcing civilization
  on the half hour.

  Past, present and future
  comes together,in a special
  way, as one walks down
  hand-swept cobblestone
  streets listening to
  laughing children behind
  bougainvillea-crowned walls.

  Here, is the eternal blue sky
  that is Alamos, Sonora, Mexico.
