Wakan Tanka, Great Mystery,
Lakota Prayer
teach me how to trust
my heart,
my mind,
my intuition,
my inner knowing,
the senses of my body,
the blessings of my spirit.
Teach me to trust these things
so that I may enter my Sacred Space
and love beyond my fear,
and thus Walk in Balance
with the passing of each glorious Sun.

Monte, I only recently found your website and blog…what a blessing, a true gift to my soul as I see and read not only your recent posts, but am treating myself as I go back slowly through your past gifts. Thinking of you especially today. Blessings. geri
Monte Stevens

May the Lord Bless you and keep you. May his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you and grant you His Peace which is beyond all understanding and a peace on this earth and hope. This is my prayer for you. For some reason I am not meant to be with you and help you through your health issues. Just know if you ever need me for anything I am there. God’s love shines through you to all of us every day. Love and blessings….
Monte Stevens
Thank you for the kind words, my friend! Love and blessings to you two…

A bit reminiscent of a very famous scenic from the first Indiana Jones movie when they were excavating into the sunset.

I’m not familiar with that scene. I think I watched one of those movies and couldn’t tell you which one. I actually used this image on the cover a photo book I made for my children in 2015 called, Through My Eyes.

That photo is exactly what I picture when I think of your early morning forays. Lovely scene with an interesting silhouette. And a nice hat!
