New Mexico felt like a place that knew how to hold silence. The kind of silence that isn't empty, but full—with light, with shadow, with something ancient still breathing in the land. I remember thinking, “This is where people come to feel something shift.” The skies opened wide. The colors deepened. And I followed, slower than before.
What stayed with me were the contrasts: adobe warmth against a high desert breeze, turquoise skies over red rock, the hush of a chapel and the hum of an open market. I wandered between art and spirit, story and stillness. New Mexico didn’t shout—it offered presence. I left feeling grounded, clearer, and quietly changed in ways I didn’t expect.
