Talking Adobe

Talking Adobe was published in New Mexico Magazine in 1993. But long before I wrote it, I heard it. The teller was Baldamar Coca, who also speaks on my audio book Stargazer. Baldamar called his story The Talking House and he said it was well-known among Taosenos. I built --with my cousin Peter and my brother Sid -- our adobe house in Tesuque, and on one of our forays we met an old adobe-maker who put parts of his children's discarded toys in his mud when he made adobe bricks. His stories were like that, too -- made of mud and sand and the echoes of children's voices. The walls only talk if you listen. But if you listen, the walls don't always talk.
