Continuing Master Motif =>
….LISTENING TO THE WIND (1 of 5).
The ZMM Narrator Again Uses A Master Motif =>
….“The Cold Wind Comes Down the Mountainside. .“
….“When we come down to the living room I can smell the aroma from the frying trout in the kitchen. At one end of the room DeWeese is bent over the fireplace holding a match to some newspaper under the kindling. We watch him for a while.
.... ‘We use this fireplace all summer long,’ he says.
.... I reply, ‘I’m surprised it’s this cold.’
.... Chris says he’s cold too. I send him back up for his sweater and mine as well.
.... ‘It’s the evening wind,’ DeWeese says. ‘It sweeps down the canyon from up high where it’s really cold.’
.... The fire flares suddenly and then dies and then flares again from an uneven draft. It must be windy, I think, and look through the huge windows that line one wall of the living room. Across the canyon in the dusk I see the sharp movement of the trees.
.... ‘But that’s right,’ DeWeese says. ‘You know how cold it is up there. You used to spend all your time up there.’
.. ‘It brings back memories,’ I say. .. A single fragment comes to mind now of night winds all around a campfire, smaller than this one before us now, sheltered in the rock against the high wind because there are no trees.“ (Continued next.)
”
DeWeese Home, Gallatin Gateway, MT. While in this area I (Henry Gurr, June 23 2002), did experience the cold and need for a fire.
….However, I did not notice any wind. Perhaps the strong winds come from new cold fronts, which did NOT happen while I was there.

GIVING ATTENTION TO “MASTER MOTIFs IN ZMM =>
….A Repeat Of Motif Ideas From Previous Photos, Since Applies To =>” WIND”. .
..****************..
…Earlier in this Album, Photos Along The Road From Laurel, MT To Red Lodge, MT. =>
….Had ZMM Passages Where ZMM Narrator Emphasized Many Times, => “ Bright Light, Dark Shadows, Dark Blue Sky. .... Hot .... Suddenly Cold. ”
….These Were in relation to the real physical ”High Country” .AND the purely spiritual. “High Country of The Mind!”
….And the discussion explained how these ZMM Phrases, since repeated with emphasis, were called “‘Master Motifs’’ by “The Guidebook To Zen And The Art of Motor Cycle Maintenance” .
… This SAME EMPHASIS also applies to the ZMM Narrator’s above use of word ”WIND”. . (Continued Next Photo)
