On the Road in New Mexico: Finding an Obsidian Flow

I started to see glistening black rock everywhere I looked. It was like broken glass littering the ground and, in a way, that’s what it was. I found myself standing in the middle of a rich deposit of obsidian.

Dog Days and Summer Monsoons

What could possibly be better than soaking in the fresh running water of the acequias in early spring? That would be a dip in a deep mud puddle, in the heat of a summer’s day, after a night of delicious rain.

A Very Cool Tree House in Truchas, NM

I should know EVERYTHING about this place, right? Well, I found out the other day that I don’t. When my friend, LaShanda Epp, took Kim and me out to see the buffalo, she asked if we wanted to also see the tree house.

Traveling the Low Road in Northern New Mexico

Most of you are very familiar with the High Road at this point but I doubt that many of you are aware of the Low Road. What you may not understand, even about the High Road, is that it is the old highway that connects Santa Fe and Taos, dotted with beautiful little Spanish land grant villages along the way. The Low Road is the NEW highway that connects Santa Fe and Taos.

About Me

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
