Seeing as I am dredging up this old site I might just dredge up some old work too. I wrote the following while backpacking through Spain some time ago. I thought I would be appropriate as the projects PA has gotten involved in have changed somewhat. Still wrestling with ideas just doing it over a different muse these days. Enjoy the words.
I have seen the great palace of El Escorial
Turned into a monastery
I have seen the fortified walls of Avila
Laid sieged to by a city
And came to know things change.
I have witnessed the famed bull fights of Las Ventas
I have walked the galleries of Del Prado,
And have found beauty and violence inseparable.
