Hubby Walks

Posted on December 3, 2012December 13, 2012 by Red Dirt Kelly

“See that cracked asphalt?” “Yeah. The road’s starting to break down, isn’t it?” “Well, maybe. But I was just thinking it looks like my facial skin feels after I get out of a hot shower in the morning.” “Oh. And it also looks like my lips when they get chapped.” Mick and I were walking…

Lessons From The Whippoorwill

Posted on May 11, 2012November 26, 2021 by Red Dirt Kelly

We had a gift waiting for us six months after we built our home. I’m so glad I discovered it serendipitously.  To have known about the magnetic call of our back yard whippoorwill before the bird revealed itself would have been less magical and made the first time we heard the sound expected.  The way…

Throughout the afternoon, an intermittent message…

Hypnotique

Posted on March 3, 2012March 4, 2012 by Red Dirt Kelly

How strong is the power of the Western Sky? Powerful enough to make my eyes check all the mirrors, then my speed, then the shoulder…until they find a safe place.  A place where I can let go of my responsibilities as a driver, and accept the freedom of Sun Worship once again. Worshiping a God…

Big Sky = Big Medicine. Really Big Medicine.

Posted on February 2, 2012July 29, 2016 by Red Dirt Kelly

The morning passed with fury. Meetings in Oklahoma City were followed by a drive to my campus 65 miles from point A toward…meetings in Stillwater, point B.  Concerns and mid-semester blusters stirred the pot of our academic soup du jour; the odor wafting from this churning fare was neither inviting to the students nor the…
