Simple Amazing

If you didn't know or haven't had the chance to read Skywritings Blog, I would strongly recommend you take the time.

To a knuckle-dragger like myself it's simply amazes me to even write a blog much less a blog written in the same universe as hers. She writes with such a vision and in a way I could only dream of.

Her latest installment on Feb, 28th is of course no let down. In which she discovers the slightest bit of incite through an evening spent fishing. The connection with nature and the world at that one on one level is just awesome.

One can't read the post without a little jealousy. She found a "spot of time" (her term) that allowed her to reflect on her past, yet still look forward. I assume many would crave the same level of clarity or serenity. I know I do.

When you're a child the world seems so large and new, everything you touch and smell and feel, everything you see can grab you for a moment and in that moment the world stops. That moment captures you only for a second, but you felt time go by in a manner you can't describe. As you grow older your world shrinks on you, chokes you a bit. The distance between those moments increase in proportion to the speed of your life. You might not even notice, as I hadn't really noticed, that is until something jars you a bit, makes you think about your life, past, present and future. Why don't you seem to find the serenity, serenity you didn't even know you had lost.

I reflect and came to conclusion that with older eyes you might not need the vision of a toad jumping onto a new lilly pad or looking out from The Grand Tetons to find your serenity. Maybe one can create it wherever they are, just be revisiting those places, those times in their mind. I suspect that Scully's vision quest might have been boiling to the surface and giving the right avenue it did. I think that might be the answer, finding the right avenue. Your personal avenue.

Anyway stop by and pay her a visit, it was a fantastic post, it really made me think, hard.

Thank you Scully.
