Sitting here with Joy and Shiloh looking across the way at Mt. Olympus at 7980 feet. There is still some remaining glacier on it, though it’s fading fast, as the planet warms…and I don’t mean because it’s August. I mean because the yearly snow average is decreasing regularly. The glaciers won’t always be here if this continues.
For now though, it’s still beautiful and inspirational. Mountains
usually are, aren’t they? What is it that they set free in our spirits? That wildness…freedom…an awakening? Why do they seem magical to me?
Trees and mountains and ocean all come together here.
This earth is beautiful in so many ways. Beautiful beyond words…beyond reason…beyond understanding. Certainly beyond these pictures. Sometimes the only way you can know it is to feel it. Knowing and feeling become one, and the beholder becomes one with that which she beholds…that which she knows and feels.
This is the bigger picture. If everybody meditated on the bigger picture, would we still have war and hatred and bitterness between countries and races and religions and people? Would we still be hell-bent to be the richest, the best the most powerful, when we witness what it’s doing to our precious earth…our home…and all the fauna and flora upon it?
If we could know and feel the bigger picture, would we focus more on compassion and kindness and peace and love and joy to earth and all the earthlings?
Or….are these just the ramblings upon meditations of an old hippie?

So last post you inspire me to dream. Today you inspire me to think.
Thank you.
This little blue marble is so amazing…gives so much to think about.
“Or….are these just the ramblings upon meditations of an old hippie?”
YES

Hi Ulf. Writing has been my favored mode of expression since I was about 10. All those journals now stored at Laura and Joel’s house are the evidence. Writing was my therapy, my hobby, my comfort. Now I make some of it public here. Sometimes it’s fairly good, sometimes not so much….but I just figure at this point in life, it is what it is. 😊
The mountains are so vast, that it makes our problems (and ourselves) seem so small in the grand scheme of things. That’s how they make me feel.
Gorgeous scenery you’re seeing! Sad about the glaciers. They have the same affect on me. I hope we can turn things around. Enjoy the rest of summer!:-)
Yes Deb, you are right. Looking at the mountains where a huge trees look like a speck, tends to put things in perspective a bit.
I agree….this is such a beautiful land. We so need to take care of it.
Beautiful reflection. I’m with ya! Thank you.
Hi and welcome! I need to check out your blog when I get a better connection. I was able to see just a tiny bit about you being in a hotel instead of your RV, then I lost you. I’m moving later today, and hope that will help!
LOVELY STUFF!h2uasaj
Thanks Cubbie! Htufmajas
