    … a more beautiful way to spend a day than on a lake in the forest? Methinks not  … left the house at 5:30 this morning and launched before 7A. The water was calm and the light was muted and quiet. A quick run down the lake to an area of water flowers and dragon flies, snowy egrets and great blue herons, geese and hawks, ravens and merganser ducks,  black eyed susans and ponderosa pines … mostly you are alone in the natural world and realize that you are a part of it … something you never experience in the city.

    These four snowy egrets came flying down the lake before settling in on the shore to search for food … a beautiful tight formation as they came straight down the lake, a sweeping turn, still in formation, and then the landing. It is amazing how close you can get to wildlife when you are on the water … we got within fifty feet of them and other creatures without spooking them … if approaching from the land they would be gone before you got within 200 feet.

    A fun day and I’ve gone through 1700 photos I shot today … now pared down to a little over 600 and more to send to the bit bucket. Have a beautiful day and spend some time alone in nature … refresh your soul.

    Cheers

    I am the dawn, the whisper of winds, the perfume
    of the morning.
     
    The passing night fondled me, hovering close to me,
    softly, silently.
     
    The breaking day builds the spirit temple of my joy.
    I abandon myself!
     
    It seems to me that never before have I walked with
    the spirit as now, nor overcome space, time, and the
    elements as I overcome them now.
     
    Peace lies over the world and over the world of my soul.

      You keep referring to “the lake” – but you never mentioned
      the name of the lake or where it is. Maybe you want to keep it a secret.


    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
