THE WEEKENDER

WONDERMENT
     INTELLIGENT IDEAS
              John Muir appreciated wonders of nature. 

        His sensitivity points us to behold the power and even mystery of life beyond or beside human parameters. 



             Out there, up there, even in there are forces and natural occurrences that form the basis of science and dumbfounds rational tools.  We theorize.
              Watching star populated night skies over the Pacific and lightless mountains propounds the dazzling concept of interstellar space.  Seeing depth in a star field lends credibility to the vast distances of space and time. Out there are perhaps dark holes, worm holes and theories  we can't fully explain.  And now the little Voyagers are about to pass the limits we biped's have postulated to in up there
              Learning about in there is accelerating in a post DNA gene sequencing world. Medicine is getting more precise. The closer we look, the more we see forces beyond our making and which influence destiny.
           And there are spirit, heart, soul, religion and philosophy which bind an alternative in there. Wisdoms, truths, transcendence and riddles are pondered yet they too  stand in the face of mystery.


           
           Let something give you a sense of wonder.

           See you down the trail.

  2. Between cold science and wonderment lies art. I might suggest a visit to the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento on your next visit to our Capitol. A wonderful collection of western art - imagine paintings of those photos.

    1. Thanks for the tip. We just acquired a book of California paintings. What a great set of motifs out here.

  3. I pity anyone who can't sense the wonder of nature, or believe in anything greater than themselves.
