#1 - I slept well last night. I seem to be waking up around 2AM a lot the last week plus. I did last night too, but it was quick and then I was back to sleep. And then I woke up in time to go sit outside and watch the sunrise without an alarm. #2 - Sitting next to "Beers" lake and watching the sunrise in the almost silence. #3 - Instead of just a "Saturday" hike, I did one both on Thursday and today, each at least 2 1/2 hours. One on the way up and one on the way back to visit my cousin and her newborn baby. #4 - There were multiple lakes in the park where I stayed and most of them seemed to have a trumpeter swan pair. I sat down with a view of one to eat my lunch and saw a piece of paper in my backpack. "What's that?" I asked. It was a Mary Oliver poem, "Swan Book Opening," Perfect.
#5 - As usual I realized in the park how loud my thoughts are when everything around you is quiet. I also remembered how much our world is simply a reflection of what is inside our heads. Loud thoughts. Loud world.
What we see outside is a reflection of what is inside.
Which could be depressing but could also be
a doorway to change.
