life is good

Sometimes in the morning, i take a little walk to the bay near my home & whenever the tide is low (like it was here), my little walk turns into a longer walk on the sand. I think if we all made time for such quiet moments, life would somehow seem less frazzled.

Things are far from perfect in my life, but at least for today, i got off on the right foot & made my day frazzle-free.

john muir

John Muir was a naturalist, author, spiritual man and activist who thought wilderness was sacred & should be protected. He founded one of the most important conservation organizations in the US, the Sierra Club. I saw something on the History Channel about him the other night, and when they mentioned his "1000 mile walk" (yes, he walked a thousand miles, from Indiana to Florida & wrote a book about it titled "A thousand mile walk to the Gulf") - I couldn't help but think, "Wow - how's that for dedication?"... A true life Forrest Gump. Impressive indeed. :o)
