This morning I awoke to the sounds of a rushing river and
bird songs. Once the sun hit the tent, I
pulled myself out of my warm sleeping bag, and emerged to inhale the fresh
mountain air.
Breakfast is over and I’m sitting on the shore of the Salmon
River. The sun is shining and the air is
cool—such a relief after the heat of the past week in the valley. The birds continue to sing; there are so many
of them. Chipmunks scurry around the
rocks. Already several rafts have
floated by. The occupants wave or call
out a greeting as I look up.
It is so quiet and peaceful here. We purposely came after the busy July 4th
weekend. There are not many people here
now. I need a bit of solitude, some time
to disconnect. I am tired in both body
and spirit. I need healing. What better place to seek it? In the natural world life comes down to the
basics. This is my time to reflect and
remind myself that I am one with God’s world.
