A Portal To Chiricahua Mountain
Outfitters & Rodeo Natural Foods
Market in Hidalgo County New Mexico
by the whirling dervish
Driving down highway HWY80 in New Mexico you come upon some of the most spectacular scenery on planet earth. As you cruise across the endless asphalt, you happen upon the San Simon Valley, parted by two majestic mountain ranges, the Chiricahua's of Arizona and the Peloncillo's of New Mexico. 
They are breathtaking early in the morning about sunrise or sunset. Out of nowhere, like a surreal Salvador Dali painting, suddenly towering up out of the desert floor is the new two story building named The Chiricahua Mountain Outfitters and Rodeo Natural Foods Market. It's the latest project of John McAfee and his beloved partner Jennifer Irwin. At first glance, it's a bit of an interesting shock, but it Rocks! It's large, and has a really good earthen energy. Cheers to them! John and Jen seem to have great taste right down to the natural landscaping.
At a closer inspection from the outside, I was welcomed by the structure's simplicity. The shiny green and white metal exterior radiates a degree of unrealized value potential of desert vogue, a balance of harmony. It's the new feng shui of the desert. It's any ones guess what's to come next! I'm not sure what the other desert inhabitants of Rodeo, New Mexico and Portal, Arizona area are thinking. Change is hard for some and for some just downright impossible. 
Living in the known is comfortable and for some, that is all they know. It's high time to dust off the mirror and look at what is flowering in our desert environment and deep within ourselves.
As a wandering, whirling dervish, basically a well traveled Sadhu... I'm not often asked to make predictions. But for this article a rare zen kick-start, here goes:
I predict that it's going to be a nice community meeting place for some local cosmic encounters and hopefully, we will get some of the finest and freshest organic food to be found on the planet. Let's hope they serve some decent coffee and have fresh baked maple scones! A treat for us Rumi lovers & dead heads`... And
hopefully they're serving all samurais, cowboy mystics, meditators, bull riders, zen masters, laughing buddha's, whirling dervishes, Tibetan book of the dead enthusiast, Jack Kerouac's desert beatniks, Walt Whitman look a likes and Kundalini drag Queens, Howard Hughes recluse types and all rookie skygyspy disciples.
If you really want to know who I am, you have to be absolutely still, empty as I am. Then two mirrors will be facing each other, and only emptiness will be mirrored. Infinite emptiness will be mirrored: two mirrors facing each other. But if you have some idea, then you will see your own idea in me.
Namaste to all!
Enjoy...

Geronimo and his Tribe of Apaches lived amongst the Chiricahua Mountains roaming the beautiful landscapes, hunting and fishing in the vast wilderness of the Coronado Forest. The area around Portal, Arizona and Rodeo, New Mexico is growing. The area has recently been discovered by John McAfee, the anti virus software guru! He now lives, loves and laughs in the valley below the Peloncillo Mountains in Rodeo, New Mexico. John McAfee is one of the founding members of the infamous "Skygypsies" who now host a following of the winged tric-kites with his fellow band of Sky Gypsies.
To the infamous band of sky gypsies, land gypsies alike, and all spiritual beings, I offer this eternal gift of words, a mantra prayer for all desert dwellers... The Whirling Dervish.

"For a real lover of challenges, success and failure mean nothing. The whole value is in the challenge and the response, and the thrill that comes between crucial moments when on this side is death and on that side is life. The bridge is so narrow, just like a razor's edge. One false step and you fall into an infinite abyss. Then one lives at the peak of consciousness."
