Rocky Mountain High
Sometimes one gets a lot done by taking a break, changing scene and hitting the road. In the process of taking space a lot of inner knots magically unravel, issues simplify, solutions present themselves. I took my space in the jagged peaks of Alberta, heard wonderful music, visited with family and friends and generally felt renewed. The sense of expansiveness that province enjoys is so very different from where I am from and it was like an opening up and letting in of the beauty, majesty and rapture that is that stunning and inspiring geography. Here, I have returned home to majestic trees that soar upwards, unique to the west, and a different kind of space the ocean provides, one with an edge that also shifts and clears the psyche. Sometimes in doing very little a great deal is accomplished.
