The Santa Fe Raptor Center paid Keshi a visit recently, bringing along some wonderful feathered friends for educational and fund raising purposes! The mission of The Santa Fe Raptor Center is to care for injured birds in order to release them back into their natural habitat.










Keshi is now on Facebook!
This should be a great way to keep up with Keshi in the future. Please visit us!


The Rain of Horses
Is a sleek rain---flowing off the flanks,
streaming down the furled banners
of the horses’ tails
It soaks the earth and sprouts the seeds
cast windblown through the Sweetgrass Hills---
Grows tall the prairie grass no blade
can cut, reaching upward toward the sky
The rain of horses two thousand twelve is
a wild winged rain driven downward
from on high
It drenches deeps, slicks all the steeps
that ache inside---as mind itself---and makes one
want to fly
O yes, as Mayans old, we ache and ever ache
to fly
Dreamer, come back, return!---
Here and now the vision, here and now
the chance to soar
Gaze steady on your windblown knoll
and there: the chestnut mare, Appaloosa, pinto
pony and lone roan stallion glowing
like the stormy dawn
But which to choose?
Ask the rain, your own sweet rain flowing
downward from on high, the wild winged rain
by no means tame
Rider---jump!---dig in your heels, grab tight
the mane
by Peter Hensel
