Still No one really is inspired to come to Chihuahua these days with state department warnings and bad news 24/7. So it rare indeed to find myself moving amongst the adventurous few who venture and look to the canyon for their inspiration.
Chihuahua is a word on the wind across canyons and wide grasslands; the deep mountains and mysterious canyonlands and the cultural home of the Raramuri ; Raramuli, the Tarahumaras of the Barancas del Cobre.
Chihuahua... say it in a whisper over the canyon as you turn your head in a slow panoramic scan to take in the vast scape; pause at the deep shadows and take in the depth as the earth breaks open under the sky.

As Barry Lopez's, The Rediscovery of North America: “Lopez explains that QUERENCIA is a place where one feels secure, ‘a place from which one’s strength of character is drawn.’ In Spain, it is the place in the ring where the wounded bull goes to renew his strength and center himself, ready for a fresh charge. What a beautiful concept: ‘A place in which we know exactly who we are. The place from which we speak our deepest beliefs.’”
