THE HERITAGE
DISTRICT
OF EAST OCEANSIDE CA
It is early morning, and I am stopped at the end of a cul-de-sac, San Miguel a street in my community and take in the entire San Luis Rey Valley. It is 6:00 AM and if patient, I will hear the bells of the Mission San Luis Rey. It shines there in the early morning sunrise, and I feel the history of the Valley. I have resided in Oceanside for 24 years, and in my mind, I have lived here forever.

I walk this walk many times a week, and it always is an amazing conformation of our human existence over time.
When I visited the Chapel, the feeling of oneness of making was strong in my awareness. The hands and feet of the early occupants told me stories of their lives in the beginning of the Mission.
It is the beginning of my day, and I take with me the knowledge of our human history and the ongoing efforts for the preservation of our heritage here in the San Luis Rey Valley where the Great White Horse once lived, and became an integral symbol of my art.
