Well, as is often the case, words elude me when I sit in front of a
computer after the fact. It seems I have become dependent on the computer to
record events rather then pen and paper. Therefore, attempting to recount the
daily events seems to bring only pictures of the places rather then the details
of what specifically occurred.
To be perfectly honest, it has been difficult
to answer questions about the Coastal trip. Perhaps it is because of the
sensory “intake” is still absorbing the beauty. As most of you know, I
absolutely love nature, and the diversity of beauty along the west coast is
like trying to describe making love for the first time, there simply are not
words to adequately describe the experience. To truly understand the magnitude
of such an event can only be understood by experiencing it first hand.
Perhaps in a few weeks, when I have had time
to really absorb the experience I can write more about it. What I can say is
Creator/God knows more about beauty then any poet, painter, songwriter on this
planet! The last place we visited was Seattle. We stayed in a hotel in the
center of town. As soon as I awoke, I took the steps to the rooftop to welcome
Grandfather Sun. It was breath taking to look into the East as the skies became
clear and blue, then look directly to the South and see Mt. Rainer regally
anchored in the horizon. It was like observing God looking over his/her
kingdom. If I had not seen it first hand I would have thought someone
photo-shopped the picture. Here is this massively busy town with cranes in
place to add new buildings and Mt. Rainer is sitting in the backdrop.
Absolutely amazing! I was humbled by the experience; it was as if I had met
God.
That is all I can say at this time. I hope
all of you are enjoying the warmth and beauty of the summer season. And, most
importantly, you all are enjoying the festive gathering of friends and family
as the “fruits” of the early summer gardens begin to offer their richness to
us.
