Good to be here.

00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:11.560 align:middle line:90%
Let's see.

00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:19.360 align:middle line:84%
I could-- when I went
across the border line,

00:00:19.360 --> 00:00:25.420 align:middle line:84%
and then I was hauled
down in a truck

00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:31.030 align:middle line:84%
to the camp of Los
Chirriones, and there's

00:00:31.030 --> 00:00:37.030 align:middle line:84%
a fellow who then became a very
close friend of mine, Porfirio

00:00:37.030 --> 00:00:38.500 align:middle line:90%
Somosa.

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:44.410 align:middle line:84%
And Porfirio was a
very strange man.

00:00:44.410 --> 00:00:48.220 align:middle line:84%
Actually in the book
there is a line that goes,

00:00:48.220 --> 00:01:00.310 align:middle line:84%
that was said by Maria Aviles,
Porfirio is--es lunático.

00:01:03.430 --> 00:01:06.820 align:middle line:90%
All of his family say it is so.

00:01:06.820 --> 00:01:08.800 align:middle line:90%
But I thought he was wonderful.

00:01:08.800 --> 00:01:11.740 align:middle line:84%
I thought he was one of the
most insightful people I've ever

00:01:11.740 --> 00:01:12.850 align:middle line:90%
been around.

00:01:12.850 --> 00:01:15.460 align:middle line:84%
And it was a delight
to be around him.

00:01:15.460 --> 00:01:20.950 align:middle line:84%
In any case, we got down to
the camp of Los Chirriones,

00:01:20.950 --> 00:01:26.363 align:middle line:84%
and he began to sing
and what he sang was.

By the corrals of El
Dormido in Sonora, Mexico,

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:40.270 align:middle line:84%
we sit watching the clouds
go past, the planet spinning

00:02:40.270 --> 00:02:47.290 align:middle line:84%
somewhere in space, while
Porfirio's horse paws

00:02:47.290 --> 00:02:51.610 align:middle line:84%
the ground two
times with his hoof,

00:02:51.610 --> 00:02:57.640 align:middle line:84%
and the billow-like wings
of a raven swish past us,

00:02:57.640 --> 00:03:00.970 align:middle line:90%
headed toward the west.

the days of the round

up come like
beautiful old ladies

00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:13.000 align:middle line:84%
of the night in Agua
Prieta who slowly

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.440 align:middle line:84%
paint eye shadows
onto their faces

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:25.060 align:middle line:84%
and step out from the darkened
shadows of their rooms to stand

00:03:25.060 --> 00:03:27.145 align:middle line:90%
by their doorways waiting.

Come on.

Let's go catch
the morning light.

00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:46.910 align:middle line:84%
We'll climb the cliff rocks
by the ridgeline trail

00:03:46.910 --> 00:03:53.480 align:middle line:84%
to see that morning light
running along the ridgeline.

00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:59.150 align:middle line:84%
To see who taught the
white winged doves to sing,

00:03:59.150 --> 00:04:03.410 align:middle line:90%
that sweet sound of forever.

00:04:03.410 --> 00:04:12.800 align:middle line:84%
Forever echoing along the cliff
rocks in the Cajón Bonito,

00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.870 align:middle line:84%
along the cliff rocks
by the ridgeline trail.
