Wilderness Break
What a dreary winter. Stuck in a room, stuck in a building somewhere away from lots of natural light and warmth of friends. It's been a difficult year. We, in the high Rockies, also have the challenge of being stuck inside away from extreme temperatures (not to mention extreme animals). But great obstacles need great inspiration. When there is a hint of warmth-above 20 degrees I'd say, we start going out. It is as if many of us fairly explode out of our doors waving to neighbors, smiling and shaking off the cold to just move! It is how we stimulate our minds, how we survive this difficult time. It's interesting how any potential challenge removed can be a stimulant-like a day of successful hiking through grizzly territory. If you are sitting there with writer's block, think: what is bothering me today that I can't do, see, or experience? Then, imagine that the huge obstacle that has prevented it (could it be COVID?) has just lifted like a black curtain. Close your eyes and imagine the total release! Breathe deeply into the experience of being absolutely unfettered from that wall. If you can, imagine the experience further-visiting with friends, feeling that hug or too hard pat on the back, or even a friend's sarcastic smile. Feel yourself smiling back. Keep breathing.

The Porter Beer Murders
The Porter Beer Murders, By Eleanor Guerrero, CCN Senior Reporter I heard a scream-or was it the wheels of an elevated train nearby screeching? Go home, long day, was my first thought. I was not looking for trouble. But I instinctively stopped, pulled over and parked. There was no one on the street. I promised myself I would only stay seconds. I’m pretty brave usually but I’m not stupid. I walked quickly to the corner by the street where the scream seemed to come from and peered cautiously out.
