Babo

Tohono O'odham lore tells of their creator, I'itoi, who resides atop Baboquivari Peak. It is said that those who choose to climb this sacred peak leave an offering for I'itoi, thereby bringing good fortune and safety to one's descent. We paid our due, as have the many before us. The fullest of moons later greeted us, shedding light upon the trail as if it were day. I'itoi made sure we didn't walk blindly that night.

Time and change take their toll on each of us, yet in different ways. Some wrinkle, some fade, and others simply fall apart. I fear that day, knowing yet if I reach it, a lucky man I will be.
