The clouds were broody but not seriously so. They had considered an evening storm, but upon reflection, broke up to allow the last light of the day to shine through.
And it was dramatic, and emotive, and peaceful -- a quiet and contemplative way to enter into the night.

The mountain looked imposing, daunting for the average person to cross over, go around, get past, but as with any challenge, it wasn't impossible.
It was a matter of time, determination, planning, skill, and the willingness to look into various options.
That's what life is -- a journey that takes us through valleys and to and past mountains.

Was it a perfect morning? Well, almost. It was cold, because it was high in the mountains and the air was biting.
So that one aspect kept it from being completely, totally, utterly, wholly and entirely perfect but really, why quibble? Just about perfect is a pretty good way to start the day.

It's cold out there, and we need each other -- to gather wood, start the fire, keep it burning. If we have an extra blanket, it would be unkind not to share, but if we have only one, and it's big enough, we can share that way as well.
It does us no good to fight and try to push one another into the cold, dark creek.

It is not still winter, yet not quite spring. Rather, it's that transition period between the seasons.
Winter clings mightily to the mountains, cool air keeping the snow in place.
But just a little below, sunlight warms the landscape and beckons early wildflowers to emerge from their dormancy.

When we're little, we jump in puddles without worrying about getting our feet wet. What matters is that splash, and the ripples it creates.
When we're older, we focus so much on not getting our feet wet (which is mature, and understandable) that we risk missing out on that joyous splash, and the ripples it creates.
We need both: reflection and action.

Quiet and sleepy,
The farm dozes in the heat:
An afternoon nap.
In the world of air conditioning, where the temperature of summer looks like that of winter in a heated home, it's easy to forget that summer is HOT. And that heat invites us to slow down, stop working all the time, and listen to the insects buzz.

Some of the most miraculous and magical elements of our life we easily overlook because they seem so ordinary: sunlight warming our skin on a spring day, flowers bursting up as if out of nowhere, air with just the right amount nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to sustain the abundant life on earth.

Golden glow on the horizon is not cold hoarded metal, locked away in a vault by a miser.
Rather, it is a gift from nature, a fleeting glimpse of beauty that is set before all eyes to see. You cannot cache it, stockpile it, or steal it from others. Nature's gifts, with which she has filled the earth, are meant for all to enjoy and share.

Flowers come in so many shapes, colors, sizes, forms -- like human beings, they refuse to be classified into tight, boxed-in categories. Their sheer beauty and exuberance spills out of any vase you arrange them in, and they add interest and intrigue to their surroundings without saying a single word.

My wife and I had been visiting the Oregon Coast for more than 20 years before we discovered Cook's Chasm, a magical rocky outcrop replete with foaming geysers, channels filled with crashing waves, and Thor's Well, a veritable sinkhole that at high tide bubbled with wave activity.
"How did we miss this?" we asked.

Moments of nostalgia remind us that there are good things in the past it's worth not getting rid of, like the fedora hat, or dressing up for a date, or opening doors for one another.
There are always bad things to point to in the past, as there are in the present. What matters is to find what's good and nurture it.

There are few places to stand where you see out so far, capture such a vista. The ocean is one, the Grand Canyon another.
What I like about this outlook is the perspective it gives, reminding me to look for such a sight in a metaphorical sense as well, not giving in to being circumscribed by walls.

Late, late in the day
Shadows grow as daylight wanes.
Evening calls for calm.
Late summer afternoon is a time to pause and simply listen to the quiet sounds of the country. The strongest heat of day has passed, and with the advent of night, we welcome the thought of a cooling breeze.

Never enough money, never enough time: it's the state of being for many. And while we can drive ourselves to make more money, that only makes the dearth of time worse.
But we can take time, if only a moment here, a moment there, to deeply, quietly, calmly think. And doing so will make changes we would not expect.

Down in the ground, they're waiting.
Through winter, daffodil bulbs rest dormant, poised for the first signs of spring to call them forth, upwards into the light.

Snow and a midnight full moon join together to transform a country forest from a familiar landscape to something . . . deeper, more mysterious, mesmeric.
We often hide ourselves from night and winter -- they're cold, dark -- but they invite us to discover their unusual beauty.

This river is in the back of the property where we live, and through the years I have watched it change its course -- sometimes mildly, other times quite decidedly. And though the "experts" try to keep it within its bounds, using their latest techniques that surely, they're sure, must work, the river has its own ideas.

Spring brings out many things, and one of these is water. Melting snow from warming days finds its way into the rivers, and in a short amount of time, what is usually a bubbling stream turns into a rushing, raging river -- so powerful that it moves even boulders. Awesome.

Politics has a tendency to take colors and claim them as their own -- blue and red for example: If you're Blue, you believe this; if you're Red, you believe that. But nature simply celebrates colors, filling our world with many hues designed to bring pleasure and wonder, not division.

The beauty of a door, she felt, is that it sent a subtle message: "Please knock, and then wait. I am seeking solace in silence right now." Of course, such a message was too subtle for the average toddler, but then again, the average toddler couldn't reach the door knob.

"Critical Thinking" isn't such a difficult concept to define. It simply means to question the things we're told. That's it. At first, such a process is difficult, especially for someone who watches a lot of TV and "news," but the more we do it, the more natural it becomes.

It feels good to get out and away, distancing ourselves from not only the noise of the "news," but the false reality of the digital world. Out in the real world, we feel the breeze on our face, the sunlight on our shoulders, and we hear the sound of our friend as we talk and laugh and solve the problems of the world.

A purpose of getting away is to escape the noise so that we can think. While it's not always possible to reach a quiet, isolated alpine lake, we are always free to turn off the TV, put away the phone, and spend time with our thoughts.

There is no rush, no need to hurry, no push to dart quickly and skim past this moment. This moment, right now, is enough in itself, filled with joyful and pleasurable anticipation of the evening ahead, an evening filled with possibilities and promises, spent with someone most dear.

These are a few of my favorite things . . .
Tea, the ocean, and flowers -- all three are calming, reflective of nature's offerings, an invitation to slow down our incessant, efficient pace and simply . . . be for awhile.

Chronic fear and debilitating panic turn good people into bad ones. We cannot treat others as we wish to be treated ourselves when we insist that they believe and act exactly as we do.

Many watch the news.
When they believe all it says
They divide and fight.

When we seek sanctuary, for refuge from stress and anxiety, we generally seek quiet places, ones in which there are no quickly moving pictures, flashing graphics, and voices intoning prophetic doom.

Dreams: you can't touch them, but you can hold them. Our deepest desires and goals reside in our hearts, where they grow gently but strongly into a force that we cannot ignore. Never discount your dreams and goals -- nourish them.

While it is difficult to imagine too much light, creativity, thought, freedom, energy, and joy, it is remarkably easy to experience too much social media, "news" updates, and screen time. The first group has little to do with the second.

She was sipping her tea when she heard a knock at the kitchen door. If it were a friend, she had more cups and more tea. But if it were someone trying to sell her something -- a product or worse yet, an idea or way of thinking, she'd rather ignore the summons.

Eating, especially with friends and family, is a pleasurable activity that needn't be rushed. After all, it's neither duty nor obligation to feed our bodies with food and our minds with companionship. It just takes a little horse sense to appreciate doing so.

Dawn neither hurries nor dawdles, but awakens the day at just the right pace. First the mountains receive the sun's golden rays, then the surface of the water, and lastly, the trees and rocks in the shadows. Slow, calm, easy, peaceful.

Family -- we are the first, best, and always teachers. We are not paid by the corporations, nor honored by the world of media, but we pass on our values to the next generation by living them ourselves.

Every landscape in its season has its unique personality. Here in the Wallowa Valley of Oregon, USA, spring is wet and cool, in preparation for the short summer. So much green, so much new life!

On a blustery day in autumn, you can stay inside and watch TV -- because it might rain -- or you can grab a jacket, put a hat on to keep your hair from blowing around, and take a walk along a winding, wending country road. You'll feel a lot better after a walk.

Too many people are waiting until they die to find paradise. And while life on earth is admittedly imperfect, if we're always waiting for "someday," we won't be aware of the glimpses of paradise we receive while we're still "down here."
