There is a time for being ahead,
a time for being behind
a time for being in motion
a time for being exhausted
a time for coming "home" to
the Colorado Rockies, a part of
my life for so many years, and what
a blessing it is.
There is a part of John Denver's song Rocky Mountain High that resonates in my contemplative heart as I find this place and "home" so absolutely incredible. The song says "Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams/seeking grace in every step he takes/ His sight is turned inside himself to try to understand/ The serenity of the clear blue mountain lake." I find John's words in the grandeur of these mountains, the clouds and light changing from moment to moment, and the smell of juniper, sage, and pine after a sweet mountain rain. Yet we are here now for this brief moment in time seeing, receiving and being rooted in love that holds us in this life. Could the serenity John sings about be found in the beauty of a clear blue mountain lake, or the grandeur of a high mountain top, in the oceans, and hillsides, and fields of golden wheat? For me it is being still enough to connect, and present enough to open my mind to the infinite blessings and love that is around us all of the time. For me this could begin to say SERENITY?
