The Unity Village Fountains

Thursday April 5, 2012:  It was a beautiful afternoon at Unity Village for the spring event of turning on the fountains.  A group gathered near the bridge, and we were served sparkling cider.

Sitting in a Chair in the Sky

The picture doesn't do it justice, but this is why I like to get a window seat when I fly.  This is the Grand Canyon in early morning,  and the slanted rays of the sun brought out the stripes of color. The canyons were a deep blue violet color, and the red and yellow rock appeared to be floating in a surreal sea.


Someone, I can't remember his name right now, said about air travel something like this:  You ought not to complain about the inconveniences of flying.  Hey, you're sitting in a chair in the sky!

Keep Gate Closed

Tribute to John Denver

You fill up my senses...
What a powerful beginning for a love song.


John Denver has been a favorite of mine.  His luminous lyrics expressed his love for the mountains, of nature.  How fitting it is that he is memorialized at his beloved Aspen, Colorado, in a grouping of stones by the mountain river.

Visitors pause to read the song lyrics on the stones, and perhaps they sing softly.
