This is a journal entry from July 10, 2007 while we were visiting Yosemite.
I loom about the world
forgetting to follow my breath
I walk dizzy in the heat
I muddle about
We trek together
It's important to walk together
but not easy
takes patience
We wind about
though old forests
granite stones
heavy on the earth
Coming to the river
cool water dances
bouncing downward
upward
flowing cold
One puddle
in the rock
holds pebbles
so clearly they lie
so bright the light
catches
enlightens the water
and even though
I cannot see my reflection
I see my Self
in that
I am That.
