After two days of overcast skies, cold, rain and snow, the skies are clearing. And, the weather app predicts we are going to see warmer weather this coming week. A morning drive out to Reservoir Ridge Natural Area after coffee lifted my spirits. Loved seeing a touch of blue sky peeking out from behind clouds and listening to meadowlarks singing from the meadow. It was a moment to experience real life, cold and all, and grateful to be alive. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
What is saving my life now is the conviction that there is no spiritual treasure to be found apart from the bodily experiences of human life on earth. My life depends on engaging the most ordinary physical activities with the most exquisite attention I can give them. My life depends on ignoring all touted distinctions between the secular and the sacred, the physical and the spiritual, the body and the soul. What is saving my life now is becoming more fully human, trusting that there is no way to God apart from real life in the real world.

Looks like we need to package up some summer weather and send it your way. It was 88 degrees here today. A tad too warm for my taste, considering it’s so early in the year. Beautiful scenes you’ve captured.

We’ll make it a big package, Earl! I would like to experience 80 degrees right now. The high today was 49 degrees, maybe 62 degrees tomorrow. Have wonderful weekend!

And, we have more blue skies this morning but a brisk 29 degrees and frost on the car. Have a wonderful day, my friend!
