Meditation is so hard with all the distractions our mind creates. So hard to turn off at times. <br /><br />I love your photo and I'm happy to see you're still writing too :-)Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565221678344360046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509978691038206460.post-79038045403718417122011-02-16T14:03:04.680-07:002011-02-16T14:03:04.680-07:00WHOA!

It was February and we were driving cross country heading toward CA. We planned to camp the whole way but the campground somewhere on that road was closed. There were no dog-friendly hotels so we decided to set up our tent by the locked gate to the campground. As we started to set up camp, headlights beamed on us, heading up the side road toward us. We both said "damn, we're about to be thrown out". But, it turned out to be a forest service worker who wanted to camp there that night too. He and his wife had the universal key to open all USFS campground gates around the country. We all went in and camped. And, in the morning, we discovered that we were camped under pine trees laden with ripe pine nuts. <br /><br />We shared breakfast with our new friends, and we all went on our way. It's a wonderful memory.<br /><br />I love your photo and your poem about meditation. I'm glad to see you writing again.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509978691038206460.post-39633566622346233362011-02-15T17:23:02.654-07:002011-02-15T17:23:02.654-07:00wonderful feeling here!wonderful feeling here!ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615254210131699811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509978691038206460.post-10145665462162533232011-02-15T17:01:45.305-07:002011-02-15T17:01:45.305-07:00That's a cool picture Barb.
