Mary and Keith's Excellent Adventure!
"We will leave a piece of our hearts
here in El Morro, and we depart with gratitude for our new friends who
provided an experience of coming home to a place that we didn't even know
was home, but in fact, turned out to be just that."
Mary and Keith are a husband and wife team
of Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders,
bringing the gift of laughter and joy to people of all ages & abilities.
"As I wrap up my visits in El Morro,
I can’t help to think how welcoming everyone has been.
This is a community
that truly understands relationships & the importance of cooperation and
collaboration, and they all have a vision to build the community in a
sustainable & entrepreneurial way."
- Jessica explores it all. Her
professional life has taken her down the path of working with nonprofits
primarily in fundraising, but also with small businesses and entrepreneurs
Almost never will you
see a dinky little parade marching down lonely Highway 53 out in the
middle of the desert, with the marchers waving 5 huge red & white Polish
flags in the wind, the women dressed as happy Polish peasant maidens,
and everyone smiling and waving profusely at the occasional bewildered
motorist driving by (thinking what the hell was that?)

"I’ve learned there’s much more going
on in Ramah on Saturday mornings under those cottonwoods than mere
commercial transactions. There’s a true community."

The hardy, rugged,
individualist, "live & let live" residents of this remote,
high desert community are scattered across 1000+ square miles of enchanted
landscapes, most of us living on our own beautiful, independent homesteads
and acreages. So it is truly unique and amazing how everyone comes
together to create such a closely bonded community, with such a vibrant,
lively, fun-loving, creative social & cultural scene.

- The diverse culture and history
surrounded by open prairies and pink buttes is why we have selected Ramah,
New Mexico as an up and coming destination.
For those of you who haven't been to
Ramah, N.M. lately for fear of being "swarmed"with tourists, Paul Merrill
and Marvin Lewis have good news. Ramah is still pretty swarm free.

It's the last stop of the day for Rural Bookmobile West, snugged up
against a curb in a corner of the Ramah Post Office parking lot, where a
few customers-to-be wait in their cars protected from looming dark clouds
that smell of rain.
Ramah, population 407, is the busiest of this three-stop day, which saw
the bus-size bookmobile trundling along two-lane blacktops winding through
pinon and juniper hills, an hour's drive or longer from the nearest
library building.
