Location: Taos, New Mexico

Last night I headed down to Espaniola for an interview session with Kathy Sanchez of Tewa Women United and her husband Gilbert. It was great talking to them on and off camera and I feel I came away with some beautiful insightful content and richer as the pilgrim that I am. Gilbert had much to say on uranium and the Los Almos labratories that are fomous for their development of nuclear technology. There is definitely enough content floating around down here for a whole seperate documentary. Kathy contributed by providing insights into the Tewa traditional way of seeing and being in the world and how this all ties into todays global challenges.

I drove back to Taos under falling snow to arrive somewhere around 9:30pm. The temperature outside was dropping fiercely and I had an interview with Eric Schlenker-Goodrich of Western Environmental Law Center at 9am the following morning. How does the temperature outside relate to a morning interview, it's simple, when it's really cold I have to set my alarm every three hours throughout the night to start the van so she starts in the a.m. So sufficed to say I didn't sleep like an angel and I'm a little tired. The interview with Eric was excellent and covered a wide range of issues from personal to politics to hope and visions of an optimistic future. This session together with my other three interviews from the Taos area has left me feeling it's all been worth the wait.

peace,
