This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 14, 2008:
There is not one story that is more important than any other. I love that if it were written down, whole pieces planned out would be crossed out and new ones scribbled in. Yesterday evening I was planning to go to some Italian Film with a friend. I drove the twenty miles to see it and found out on the way that it might not be good so I went into the mountains instead hiked for a movies length in time to a high ice floed lake took off my dress and splashed and dunked in the melted ice and sat on the mossy wild flowered shore line while the sun set. Gnomi and Sticky chased after the whistles of pikas.

see how you are??? I love your stories all.
This seems better than any movie.
I like that writing up, crossing out, scribbling in the margins, writing in new sections about living as well. The mountain swim and sunset sounds awesome… and so is the photo.
Your entry reminds me of the “Messiah's Handbook” in Richard Bach's book, Illusions.
“The world is your exercise-book, the pages on which you do your sums. It is not reality, although you can express reality there if you wish. You are also free to write nonsense, or lies, or to tear the pages.” (1)
“You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.” (2)
“A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed. It feels an impulsion … this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.”
1. (p. 127), 2. (p. 63) and 3. (p. 119) Illusions - The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, Richard Bach, Dell Publishing, New York, New York, 1977.
What a cool perspective.
I am glad to be free to write nonsense lines or to tear the pages. :) !
Yes to all of this and Dawn, what a rewrite we had yesterday!
You must be a true child of nature, bringing your stories of your explorations and connections with it so that we all can feel, smell and breath it as if we were there… :))
