    It’s Mysterious

    Taken on my walk around Dixon Reservoir this evening

    forest fires destroy
    leaving a path of darkness
    yet new life will dawn

    it’s mysterious
    the laws of nature baffle
    senseless to logic

    The Lewstone fire is at 100% containment. People returned home yesterday. The Cameron Peak fire is over 21,000 acres and 0% containment. But yesterday evening they had a few showers which helped them. Today the skies are much clearer. We can see the mountains again.

    This afternoon I took the 1.8 mile walk around Dixon Reservoir. Eerily quiet for the first half hour I was there. I was able to finish John O’Donohue’s book today, Walking in Wonder. Plan on starting a Mary Oliver book of poems next. Hope you have a great evening and wonderful day tomorrow.
