Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
The magic of Yellowstone is endless and unceasing. And the parable of the early bird could not be more fitting as this 5:15 am wake-up call proved to be worth its weight in....gold and worms. I'll never forget this morning, sitting on the rocky shore of the lake, the steam rising, wolves howling in the north at a rapidly descending moon, rutting bull elk bugling in the south with their whale-like fertility song in tribute to the flute-playing Kokopeli. Show me a better symphony.
Nature proves once again that when we show up - when we become present and engaged - her offerings are unfailing and unforgettable.
Wow, that's really beautiful!

ReplyDeleteMy dream is I travel up to the Yellowstone!
To me the Divine Infinite feels most accessible in the American West. The vast sky -- the Creator's perpetual canvas -- the ever-changing clouds, the rarefied air, the silence broken only by the sound of creatures, or the wind playing the leaves.
ReplyDeleteMost of my favorite authors write about the West -- Wallace Stegner and John Steinbeck chief among them.
This picture and your words do perfect justice to the beauty and peace of Yellowstone!
I just love this place...!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, Excellent writing...!
Sad that i couldn't find you earlier..
Beautiful. The accompanying words are just as harmonic as that picture your took. I am so glad I stopped by to see this. Have a nice weekend.

Absolutely stunning. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteA banquet for the eyes. I tell myself: "You shall not be moved by this, you weren't really there, you didn't hold the colours of the morning in your hand or sniff the air." But it's too late - I am moved!
ReplyDeleteT.R.-
