Bureau Proposes Opening Up Utah Wilderness to Drilling

last weekend i spent a bright and sunny and beautiful weekend with a dear friend exploring petroglyphs in nine mile canyon in central eastern utah. the cultural heritage located is incredible and i wish more people coudl appreciate the canyon. then, today i read the following in the washington post. the canyon (a designated scenic byway and historical site), and adjacent desolation canyon will be up for drilling leases, to be sold by BLM. this makes me very sad. tuesday the list of leases will be posted and i plan on commenting! if you would like to see some of our american history and heritage preserved, i encourage you to comment too!

desert sunrise

this song feels like it was written for a time in my life. it is sweet and beautiful and heartfelt. it was a wonderful time.

Desert Sunrise by Brett Dennen

A desert sunrise, you warm my soul
Painting me in shades of clay
Covering me whole
and I'm a lizard
Sunbathing in
Your radiance
So I crawl out of hiding
So sweet so sweet you are
If i could only have a taste
Wrap my lips around your flavor
Just because you are you
Just because you are
So beautiful

I've been waiting all this life in the company of one
And I know I am young, but I don't want to be alone
If you could only just consider the two of us
And I know darling I could be so good to you

I See you rising on the horizon
Bringing light into the day
And I'm coasting on your rays
When I awoke you spoke through the midst of a mystic bliss
Casting shadows on all my dismal yesterdays
Do you remember that you told me darling that I was so real
I tell you all my tears for you are real
We'll cross that bridge again someday
I know we will
I hope we will

Desert sunset a lullaby
If I could give it all to you
If you'd only let me try
Sing so sweetly
It's my only wish
Music drips from your lips like sweet sips of a summers kiss
Summer raindrops precious tongues twist

I've been waiting all this life in the company of one
And I know I am young, but I don't want to be alone
If you could only just consider the two of us
And I know darlin I could be so good to you

I See you risin' on the horizon
Bringin' light into the day
And I'm coastin' on your rays
When I awoke you spoke through the midst of a mystic bliss
Casting shadows on all my dismal yesterdays
Do you remember that you told me darlin that I was so real
I tell you all my tears for you are real
We'll cross that bridge again someday
I know we will
I hope we will

Desert moonrise into the night
Before we lay our heads I wish to walk under the splendorous starlight
Sing so sweetly
It's the sweetest sound
And I become weak in the knees
And I drop down and kiss the ground
And all my cares lie far below
In this earth I wish to die
In this heart my fire grows
