In 1998, Tim and Lucia Amsden left their familiar lives in Kansas City and moved to the Ramah Valley in northwestern New Mexico, where they lived for the next two decades. Love Letter to Ramah recounts their experiences there, nestled among an eclectic and diverse community of loving, earth-rooted people.
In 1998 Tim and Lucia Amsden left their familiar lives in Kansas City and moved to the Ramah Valley in northwestern New Mexico, where they lived for the next two decades. Love Letter to Ramah recounts their experiences there, nestled among an eclectic and diverse community of loving, earth-rooted people. It is an evocation of the rich human and natural history permeating the area and of the importance - central to the traditional beliefs of Indigenous people - of living in concert with the living earth.
Living in that place and within that community gave Tim and Lucia a profound and visceral understanding of our need to move the fragile blue marble of our earth back into balance. Just as important, it enhanced their awareness that we must shift ourselves into acknowledgement of and respect for our global community. It also gave them a firm belief that those things are indeed possible.
