Beautiful mountains, I can see them so well that it seems that I should be standing right next to them. They look amazing with their snow covered tops. My little camera can't quite capture the detail and the beauty of the mountains but I have never seen them this magnificent. I've walked along the upper path but still close enough to the shore to see the view once in awhile. I'm sitting enjoying the view and nature's music instead of my own. I've seen a couple runners, one sprinter, and many people with their dogs. A German Shepherd tried to attack me, I can see why they have them as police dogs. I saw a man engrossed with his cell phone and thought what was the point of him taking a walk to see a great view when all he looked at was his phone. I was greeted by an old man and his dog as they sat down to enjoy the view, right where I was also sitting. A mother of two walked by carrying one of them because the one was crying. I sat there and thought of how peaceful it was, how all of the daily stress was gone and didn't even cross my mind until I returned home. I sat there wanting to stay in that moment, not wanting to let go and go on with life with all its stressfulness. I would like to do that again, but possibly longer than just an hour.
DO! Do, do, do, do go again. For longer than just an hour.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful-- beautifully written observations of LIFE occurring around you.
Have you heard of the term "general revelation"? It's the idea that no matter who you are, no matter where you are in the world, from whatever culture: everyone somehow confronts God through creation-- through its spectacular beauty. For many: that is the first, and perhaps the only understanding they have of God.
What an incredible introduction, right?
Looking forward to having you back Sam!

I have more pictures if you want to see them. It was probably the best day to do that
