Left - Me showing you the scale size of this decaying puff ball mushroom next to my hand. This week I had some wonderful adventures in nature in addition to reaching my sit spot a sum total of one time this week. I must admit, I have more of a desire to the see the whole world of nature then I do to just go everyday to my sit spot. Well, I could do both. I know that I know how important it is to develop the healthy habit to remove myself from my busy life and come away, sit and just be. Today when I went to my sit spot, I found it first of all, very difficult to get away from my work. You see, I live where I work, at a small mountain town motel, of which I am both manager, maid, check in person and the go-to person for any guests needs. So, between teaching 7 live online classes and serving 7 roomfulls of guests, you can imagine how challenging it must be for me to "escape" for a few quiet moments to my sit spot, wherein I wished I lived instead of the motel. Perhaps my dreams will be realized soon....I hope. There I sat today atop my sit rock trying very unsuccessfully to quiet my mind. I think I stayed a sum total of 10 minutes before my duties seem to drag me back home. In my swirling busy mind, I did take time to notice the peacefulness of the woods. A lone fruit fly came up to me and hovered at a comfortable distance to have a good look at me. I found humor in this small creature's curiosity. I also got a small token of my short stay - a mosquito bite on my forehead. This weekend, I did manage to leave my home/job to venture out with my friend Sarah over to a local state park called Blackwater Falls. Below you will find some lovely shots I got of the falls and of our hike.
