MOMENTS AT THE SHORE
As a high school kid I'd take this holiday break
week to evaluate. What about the year ending
and how would I do things differently in the
new year? It's akin to making resolutions, but
the point is the time to ponder.
It is a habit that stuck. Back then I'd hike
off through a field behind the house between
corn or soybean fields to a little copse of trees
where an old tractor bridge crossed a creek.
Quiet, solitary and a great place to contemplate.
Today, the nearby big blue of the Pacific with
its sound, smell and energy serves the purpose.
From personal experience, this is a great spot to watch the whales in their winter migration south.
South of here, off Rancho Palos Verde, large pods of
Gray whales have been sighted already. This is
earlier than normal.
Regardless of where on the planet you find yourself,
I urge you to spend a few quiet minutes outside,
in nature, working on your emotional, psychological
and/or spiritual balance sheet. Or just relaxing
looking at something that is not of human hands.
See you down the trail.
