The Benefits of a Great Wet Winter

Rivers are roads which move, and which carry us whither we desire to go. ~Blaise Pascal

Hi Friends,

This year are experiencing the wonderful benefits of a long and wet Winter. Everywhere we go in Nevada this Spring and Summer, the water is running high and with spirit. On Friday as June was coming to an end and July was getting started, I stopped along highway 88 on my way to Lake Tahoe to see just how beautiful water was in one of my favorite spots.

Here just off the busy road, the West Fork of the Carson River is running high on the banks. The sound of the water can be heard from the road. I love this pot and often use it as a meditative rest from a busy day of driving. The sound of water on rocks can take your mind off the jumble of daily non sense.

I put together this video for you. Just the sound of the water to help take you away for a couple minutes.

Peace, Love and Bliss,

Don

Spring Has Sprung...

To find the universal elements enough;
to find the air and the water exhilarating;
to be refreshed by a morning walk
or an evening saunter;
to be thrilled by the stars at night;
to be elated over a bird's nest
or a wildflower in spring
- these are some of the rewards of the simple life.
~ John Burroughs, Naturalist (1837-1921) ~

Hi Friends,

Took a short break on my route Friday to check out the Spring run off starting in the Sierras. I love this spot along hwy 88 near Woodfords in CA. It is just off the road and has a nice big turn out so you can park and walk just a few steps to enjoy the beauty. In the Spring the water really gets rolling down this part of the creek and the waterfall that it creates is loud and powerful.

How many of you enjoy stopping along the road and enjoying what is just over the ridge or just a few steps away. It makes life surprising and wonderful and lessens the grind of the same old thing.

I took a short video to share and am adding a map to help you get started finding your own escape.

Peace, Love and Bliss,

Don
