42 days,
5800 miles,
9 National Parks...
​and we are back to the
​green, green grass of home!

These texture-y, colorful
5”x7”x1 1/2” cuties are
“Happy to be back home” paintings
—even though the trip was spectacular!
They will be available at
Windy Flats Gallery in Nye, Montana
​along with other new paintings.
The gallery opens June 5th.

“Meditation is listening
to the Divine within.”
Edgar Cayce

A Path
of Grace.
From lesson4life.com




"Your life is a sacred journey.

We are all on the path... exactly where we need to be. The labyrinth is a model of that path.
A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools.
A labyrinth is an archetype with which we can have a direct experience. We can walk it. It is a metaphor for life's journey. It is a symbol that creates a sacred space and place and takes us out of our ego to "That Which Is Within."
Labyrinths and mazes have often been confused. When most people hear of a labyrinth they think of a maze. A labyrinth is not a maze. A maze is like a puzzle to be solved. It has twists, turns, and blind alleys. It is a left brain task that requires logical, sequential, analytical activity to find the correct path into the maze and out.
A labyrinth has only one path. It is unicursal. The way in is the way out. There are no blind alleys. The path leads you on a circuitous path to the center and out again.
A labyrinth is a right brain task. It involves intuition, creativity, and imagery. With a maze many choices must be made and an active mind is needed to solve the problem of finding the center. With a labyrinth there is only one choice to be made. The choice is to enter or not. A more passive, receptive mindset is needed. The choice is whether or not to walk a spiritual path.
At its most basic level the labyrinth is a metaphor for the journey to the center of your deepest self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding of who you are.

Yes!
​We saw Woody in Yosemite!
The photo above is from the Forest Service website, but we saw this dude’s sibling. We were hiking the Sequoia Mariposa Grove in Yosemite- The noisy pecking caught our attention, we looked around...the guy’s hard to miss with that red crop of feathers adorning his head! Fun sighting.
