Read by State Senator-elect Siah Correa Hemphill from Bayard (English), and District 2 County Commissioner Javier Salas (Spanish). Late great New Mexican author Rudolfo Anaya weaves a fanciful folk tale that helps explain the beautiful flowers that can be seen in all parts of the Southwest in the summer and fall. Escaping Herod's wrath, Sueño, a near-sighted angel, takes the Holy Family to New Mexico by mistake. The story blends history in this tale that shows how different cultures can work together peacefully and respect the land we all need.
