Comments on: fossil oregon, my desert http://www.orderofr.net/lady/frontal/fossil-oregon-my-desert/ and all this is darkness Sun, 05 Feb 2012 09:37:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: ashby http://www.orderofr.net/lady/frontal/fossil-oregon-my-desert/#comment-139 Thu, 12 Oct 2006 14:46:55 +0000 http://www.orderofr.net/lady/frontal/fossil-oregon-my-desert/#comment-139 arwen: i feel it! thank you so much. manuel: i want to make all of my experiences a spiritual journey. that is why seattle is such a test. in such a cold place can i tap into these wedges of stillness? i'm still waiting... brian: recent cow trails! jeez! they sure know how to tear through the dirt. that is incredible. it looks like they went miticulously in circles. we were all worried about the fate of the packrat. i'm really glad that you drove far away to displace it! he was sooo cute! yet the damage was saddening too. your awesome drapes (cool jen!). it was such a wonderful opportunity to spend time in your home. thank you! rita: it's not all well! but i can dream! jen: i haven't been to paris, but i know how wonderful our birth place is. i wrote this for an essay in german last night: Was war die schönste Reise, die Sie gemacht haben? Wo waren Sie? Was haben Sie gemacht? -Die schönste Reise, die ich hatte, war zur Wüste in Oregon. Ich ging mit meinen Freunden. Wir gruben für Fossilien. Wir gingen auf lange Wanderungen. Wir suchten nach Konstellationen im Himmel. i hope to be able to tap into this peaceful desert wherever i am! arwen: i feel it! thank you so much.

i’m so glad you, michael, and your friends got to go…and it seems you all enjoyed its beauty too.

thanks,

I caught the packrat, and let him go a couple of miles down the road. I was lucky that your visit enabled you to notify me and he didn't do more damage. The fall singing of the solitaires is something rather rare in the bird world. Plus the females sing too. Both sexes claim and occupy and defend winter territories with their supply of juniper berries. The "carvings" on the hillsides that puzzled you are probably recent cow trails (or conceivably old sheep trails from 100 years ago). brian I am sorry I couldn’t be there to host, but I can see you did quite all right on your own exploring and noticing things.

It sounds like this was a spiritual journey for you. THe desert being this energy place where people go to find themselves and commune with the natural world. Getting reconnected with this place that we call Oregon. THis post is like a poem; it reflects my desert love and love for the wilderness. It sounds like this was a spiritual journey for you.

Not quite. There is one type of light in which the Sun itself is extremely dim (most of the time), and that is the very high-energy type of light known as gamma radiation. In gamma rays, the Sun is so dim that something else can make the Moon brighter than the Sun. That extra source of energy is cosmic rays, the very high energy particles that come from beyond the Solar System. These cosmic rays constantly bombard the lunar surface (the Earth’s atmosphere protects us from facing these same cosmic rays). One type of collision of such high-energy particles with the Moon rocks produces gamma rays. It is the same sort of process that takes place at high-energy physics laboratories like Fermilab, CERN, KEK, and SLAC." All the love for you in Oregon sends itself to you in the form of a high-energy collision of cosmic particles, and you should let it make you bright, like the moon. “Does that mean that the Moon can NEVER be brighter than the Sun?
