Nature's Splendor

      Thoughts are like clouds appearing and disappearing carrying shapes and images that we create in our mind. What the mind creates is only an illusion like a movie on a screen. Experiences come and experiences go,thougths come and thoughts go same with emotions. The one remaining reality behind these thoughts and images is the simple awareness which knows them all. Spiritual practices teach us to to shift attention toward the screen on which the movie is been watched.

Morning Walk

          " Walking with a friend in the dark is better that walking alone in the light."

~Helen Keller~

Precious Opportunity

        We live at the intersection of time and space; each moment a precious opportunity to choose wholeness or separation, hatred or love, blessing or cursing, accepting or rejecting-- the choice, whatever the circumstances, is ours.

Experiences and Grace

     Grace likes to travel in disguise and keeps our world full of unexpected surprises. Dressed as divorce or disease and accident or a dead end job. She opens doors we never knew were closed inviting us to step where we never thought to tread; to discover hidden valleys and new heights within the shadows of our soul. Today she masqueraded as a wild turkey and a hungry coyote, allowing me to be the awareness of experience. The door is always open if we are present, and can at anytime tap into the boundless world of grace.

Old and New

  There is an old barn along the lone countryside, where roots of life deepened but never died.

Rapid Water

      During the high run off from spring snow melt, the river in front of our house here in Colorado becomes a torrent of white water at times. Today was a special surprise to watch the kayakers run the river. The strength and agility it takes to do this sport is amazing . The skill to navigate the rocks and swift water is something that I would like to learn. But I do think I will be satisfied to watch and photograph from a distance.
       By six thirty this evening the river took on a slightly different feel. Emergency vehicles, life flight out of Boulder, and many rescue personnel were assisting a transport to the nearest hospital.

        Intertwined with thee I be.
