This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 19, 2008:
It is the way to be reminded that there can't be a certained safety in holding on to anything, in surrounding oneself with relationships and possesions against the world. Along with some sad pangs when I feel loss, there is also a rush of a lovely feeling of another window opening allowing more life to flood in.

You are beautiful, of course, and those clouds…and that second shot, the landscape – oh my. It' almost hallucinogenic. Just amazing. Just like you, only earth-formed.
Just lovely Farland.
I posted those pictures from a very long (11 hours of trotting along) hike me and the dogs and nothing much else, up in the elements and high altitude, and feeling I didn't need anything to be there, that we have forgotten that we just belong here on this earth as we are. Thank you!
i was just talking about that and thinking about that today that at any moment something could be taken away from you and you have to live your life appreciating what you love and knowing that you could lose it or them.

Awesome.
Wonderful, as always. I am torn between the quote of never seeing an animal feeling sorry for itself to the tombstone in England that simply states, It's a frightening thing to love that which can be touched by death. Hmmmmmm. Still, wonderful sentiment and images, Farland.
oh farland. I swear we will have another one of those days like the 2004 21 miles of mountains day, before iceland, way back. it is like a pleasant hallucination sometimes isn't it? I'm craving a high mountain day so much. september maybe………
