Black Dragon is very close to I70, but is amazingly and perplexedly difficult to locate. Perhaps purposefully so. Vandals are so attracted to these kinds of artefacts, even though we little understand their worth, or even their meaning.
I have ben to this site several times, contemplating the pictures. I don't know what they mean. But I feel some significance anyway, something valuable and precious, that bridges the gap between ancient and current somehow. And I put my hand up near the rock where my brother so long ago took thought to place this mystery.
The Past is worth preserving, because it give us something to consider today.
Why did this people love each other? What made them happy and sad? Why did their culture succeed or fall compared to mine?
I ask the imponderable, not for answers, but for the thought they give, and the blessing to my life today from the ancient cultures who speak from long dead.
May they rest in peace. Perhaps only the desert Rooks know. They eat the tough old bones and sinews. And tell us nothing.
