A time to take my thoughts away from a world of material goods and a chance to look into the spirit of the human soul, its goals and purpose. Mountain poem, They roll across the heavens like great gray and white sails, suspended on masks held up by the wind. Bolts of white line fire, collide with the earth, forming a flag's insignia against the ominous sky. There are signs of greater life all around. I find myself continuously being drawn outdoors, not just for the sake of working in the yard, but a chance to explore and experience.
Spring is a time to reflect on new hopes and dreams, a time to plant new seeds.
Although, it takes more than skilled hands and a sharp wit, to plant these seeds. When I hung up my worldly footwear for a pair of pathfinder boots, I began a journey that would lead me through the deepest recess of my mind, body and soul. These early years of my search for enlightenment were exciting times of untold wonders. On my twelfth birthday my wise old pappy gave me a special charm he carried everyday of his life. It was a stone of staurolite crystals, or should I say two, two inch long brownish crystals that had crossed through each other.
