OUR NIGHT IN THE CAVE NORTHEAST ARIZONA

What ever...."influence" sent my horror dream last night, is more than making up for it tonight.   We had a delightful meal of T-Bones, baked potatoes, and corn on the cob.  The wine was sooo smooth.....and now we relax in our chairs just staring into the fire.  Neither of us wanted this night to end.  The reddish walls of the cave are dancing with shadows and it is all so hypnotic.  It is like we had the only light in the Universe except for the twinkling carpet of stars above.  We were enjoying that nice relaxing haze that a good wine brings...a masking out of every worthless thought and allowing the deeply mysterious comforts to come out of the shadows and whisper in our minds.....I said:  "Blythe, there is a world of just about everything out there.  They all are vying for our attentions for evil reasons.  The evil is that listening to these hawkers of thought is a robbery attempt to hide the deep things that are so simple while being complex...feelings that no language can express....a solicitation to wonder at things that no one wonders at..like right now..I am wondering if we are the first people in the history of the World to eat T-Bone steaks here.  I wonder if any one has ever camped here ...ever. There is no indication that anyone has ever been here.. I am sure they have.  But, maybe they haven't.  Here we are, a short distance from people screaming down the highway looking for a vacation at some noisy amusement place, and here we are enjoying the wonder of silence and solitude.  It's almost funny if it were not so sad.  She thought a moment and said: "My Dearest Bob..that is so pregnant with thought.   I am really into firsts, and you have a collection of CD's in the truck and a great sound system....let's play some Oldies and let these ancient walls and spirits hear our music from long ago."  I jumped at the idea.  I put on a selection from the 50's and turned it up.  "Oh yeah..The Five Satins...1955...."IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT....I HELD YOU..HELD YOU TIGHT...CAUSE I LOVE YOU...LOVE YOU SO...PROMISES I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO...IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT.......I REMEMBER THAT NIGHT IN MAY....THE STARS WERE BRIGHT ABOVE....I'LL HOPE AND I;LL PRAY....TO KEEP YOUR PRECIOUS LOVE.....IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT....SHO-DO-AND SHOBEE..SHO-DO-AND SHOBEE.................................Some things should definately be done in certain places,,but finding them is a kiss from lady luck.  We danced all night to the same song...our bare feet stirring the soft sand...perception of time was not there.. Cupid ..she came down and put us together....we became one flesh and moaned the pleasure out of us...torrents....thunder....quiet sleep...and..then we woke up staring at each other and wondering....wondering at wonder...and laughing at how sticky we were....
