You are so lucky to have found your true home there.<br /><br />Here is one of my favorite quotes about the mountains and nature in general; it is all so healing.<br /><br />"Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers - for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are." ~OshoJanice Badger Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486315544868690019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-50505057024516468722011-06-09T09:55:18.632-04:002011-06-09T09:55:18.632-04:00Chris...thanks for pointing that out.

Life comes and goes. I have faith in you.<br /><br />John, you and I have so much in common when it comes to our thoughts and feelings up here.

But now that the mountains, forest, lakes and brooks have become my landscape, my world is much more satisfying and "real"! To quote Albert Einstein: "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-87753252224531495622011-06-04T20:16:30.270-04:002011-06-04T20:16:30.270-04:00Hey Tom,

I didn't know how much I needed to read just what you wrote to gain some perspective and get out of my own head-space. The mean-spirited stuff being doled my way is nothing compared to the loss of a good person or forgetting to focus on the wonder(fulness) in our own world. Nature, be our teacher.<br />Best always,<br />Cindy (Hampton)Cindy Knoreply@blogger.com
