Sunday was one of those sparkling blue-sky days where the warm sun beckoned us all out to play.  My husband and I trekked a fabulous hike up the McKenzie, nothing speaks as nature speaks.  We felt our spirits soar in such paradise.  My eyes were feasting on the beauty around me and all senses were awakened as I breathed in the aroma of pines and listened to the river and birds harmonize together. Why would I look up? – there was so much glorious abundance around me, and yet, my husband called out to look up and notice the sun.  To our amazement the most beautiful rainbow was perfectly circling the sun – never in our lifetime had we gazed at such a wondrous rainbow.  I did my best to capture it’s amazing energy and if you look close you will see the precious gift of angels inside this rainbow circle.  They are here for you.

As I began my walk I asked Spirit of the forest what it would like to share with me today – In the silence I heard…
‘Why are you going so fast?’ You are walking in timelessness.  Suddenly the ground beneath me felt so sacred.
I looked around very aware that I with the trees, flora, insects and creatures around me were breathing the same timeless breath, and truly where was I going and why so fast, when there really is no place to go. I am already here.

Tripping over a stone and catching myself – I heard…’ this isn’t about ‘trying not to fall’ – this is about’ remembering to skip!’  Oh! –

‘You don’t need to watch so carefully every step, just notice the path ahead-it’s already marked for you, you will know each step automatically, walk noticing beauty. Beauty is enveloping you in this journey, there is no place where beauty is not.’

I thought of that saying ‘beauty is truth and truth is beauty’.

May you walk in beauty.
