The Last Gate
© 2019 RGallucci Photography

About a mile west of the San Pedro River is a primitive road that no cars may travel. The large gate at its origin has three locks to keep them out. But, right next to it is a smaller passageway that is unlocked so people may pass through.

It was on this path, with giant cottonwoods lining the eastern horizon and open fields leading to the Huachuca's on the west, where I found myself this gloaming. It was here that I found a lone gate, whose wire fencing enclosed nothing in particular. It was a gateway to nowhere that on this evening transformed itself into a portal to a mystic view of this southern Arizona high desert paradise. It was a doorway of affirmation to the magnificent beauty of a creation I am honored to witness and share.

I am blessed to be His scribe.
