| View of from my backyard at Yellowstone during Labor Day 2010 Appropriately named Lone Peak |
"The light died in the low clouds. Falling snow drank in
the dusk. Shrouded in silence, the branches wrapped me
in their peace. When the boundaries were erased,
once again the wonder:
that I exist.
-Dag Hammerskjold
Can it be in the wake of great sorrow,
when we become attuned and sensitized to all experiences,
and the mysteries at the edges of life,
we are more able than at other times to feel a kind
of unifying pulse with all that is?
Soaking in the beautiful landscape around
Yellowstone and Big Sky this past Labor Day,
I remember there being an almost tangible connection
between me and the mountain peaks and the
stars above that shone in the night sky.
This new found tenderness toward creation and nature
is a gift that came at a very high price.
Perhaps this is a new kind of expanded consciousness evoked
by me reaching out into the universe for what I have lost:
Where are you?
Do you feel me?
Do you see me standing here, thinking of you?
I love you, I know you know that!
I miss you so much!
On and on it goes, this make believe
mournful conversation with Gaye.
And yet, in the unity of life and all that is,
I get a sensation deep within my soul to have
Faith and Trust....
who knows who is speaking
and who is listening?
I thank God for this sensation and the healing powers of Nature.
It greatly comforts me....
