with Ned Stone of Cordelia to Green Valley,
"Green Valley". "Wind;" and "New Mexico."
Cordelia, New Mexico, where I was born.
I were in a place called "Gaff" and saw a
bird on the ground. It was a small bird with
a long tail. The bird flew away when I tried
to catch it. I did not see any other birds
in that area. There were many trees and bushes
around me. The air was cool and fresh. I felt
very happy to be there. I enjoyed watching the
birds fly around. They seemed so free and happy.
I wished I could have stayed longer to enjoy
the beauty of nature more. But time passed quickly
and I had to leave soon after. I left feeling
sad but hopeful for what might happen next.
