    Beautiful Questions

    “The ability to ask beautiful questions, often in very unbeautiful moments, is one of the great disciplines of a human life. And a beautiful question starts to shape your identity as much by asking it as it does by having it answered.”

    David Whyte

    A few years ago I became less interested in answers and more interested in the questions. We already have too many people who have the answers. I’m grateful for the inquisitive minds in our world today, always looking for another question. Those questioning minds belong to the creatives, the prophets, researchers, the explorers, the seekers.

    Standing in the Presence

    “All that we can do with any spiritual discipline is produce within ourselves something of the silence, the humility, the detachment, the purity of heart and the indifference which are required if the inner self is to make some shy, unpredictable manifestation of his presence.” James Finley

    Rain Showers on the Horizon

    May 20, 2019
    Rain Showers in the Foothills, Colorado

    Nature supplied me with this scene along Weld County Road 13 this past weekend. We have had rain almost every day and the next two days are expected to be more of the same. My car was a mess as the roads were muddy but man, those fields are green.

    2. Second is my image caption. I cannot seem to change the image caption font color. At the present time it is almost the same color as my background. See the above image.

    Sunset Walk

    January 7, 2019

    I enjoyed a sunset walk at the Cathy Fromme Prairie Area this evening. I needed some exercise so in spite of wind gusts of up to 30 mph I ventured out there. This is another nature area I can enjoy the quiet along with the songs of my meadowlarks. Sometimes if the wind is blowing, like it is today, the traffic noise from Taft Hill Road will drift out across the prairie. Nevertheless I was bundled up against the cold wind and enjoyed the peaceful time there.
