There is something majestic to me about water and mountains. I love being in the vicinity of lakes and oceans. I love the mountains. Of course, I am also forever a prairie girl where I can see the sky stretch out over the fields endlessly. Today and this week though I have been savouring the glorious Okanogan mountains and lake.
Last night as Marie and I played crib, a game rediscovered from my childhood, I would glance occasionally over her shoulder to the city lights below that sparkled off the lake. I find such peace in moments like that.
I am, of course, someone who tries hard to preserve our Earth and I always feel devastated when I see the destruction of it. For these days though, I have breathed deeply of the mountain and lake air and rejoiced to be present with them at that moment.
By the way, I used to play crib with my parents. It was hilarious to remember how to play and to even beat Marie….although last night, she did become the champion of the world. However, I did help her a little by stacking her hand with a flush when she was not looking. Hee hee! Now we will never really know who the champ is.
Be good to our earth. Be a champion for our world. We need lake and mountain moments every once in awhile in which to breathe deeply.
Peace,
Suzanne
