Advent: Twelfth
Note: This the twelfth part of a twenty-four part series running through December 24th. To read the previous installments in a convenient form, go here.
Welcome to New Mexico- the Land of Enchantment. The air is palpably thin and dry and as dusk settles, from the giant plains rise the Sandia's, looking like something assembled on a model railroad set. The land here looks like a rough draft of a real landscape, everything is strong lines and simplicity. The mountains are mountains and nothing else. The desert is desert and Albuquerque, our new home, spreads out from the trickling Rio Grande.
Daniel is home and he's going at quite a clip. "First, I want to take you the the Village Inn for enchiladas and sweet rolls, then Double Rainbow- my old stomping grounds. And Garduno's- you can have some real soppapillas there. We actually made it! We actually made it!"
We pull into his parent's house on Nob Hill and he runs, he literally runs into the house and grabs a hold of his mother, who smiles his smile and says "Hi, son."
For the first time since that day, Daniel is happy. This place will make him whole again.
