you’ll be surprised at the spiritual essence taking place in this shot and i dare you to rise to her
4-year old discipline…
… and now my love of focused fun
among snow covered woods,
pine-lathered mountains, and
high, rocky peaks where only Pika play and occasional Hawks reach their wings into majesty…
reMind me of my True Human Beingness
shouting unheard into my HeartCave;
“Don’t Wait Any Longer…”
so, within the garden of Self,
