In my mind I am walking in the foothills of the mountains. Southern Rockies to be more specific on the eastern slopes. The air is brisk. The sky deep blue. Snow on the ground crunches as I walk. It is very quiet except for the noise of the snow under my boots. Not much is stirring, except for gentle swaying branches in the light wind. This is where I want to be, not in the hustle of the city. Dealing with people that all just want to use you to get to their goal. We have become so filled with greed for material things and false position due to our accumulated wealth. That all means nothing at the end of the day. A true friendship with someone and living in balance with the earth is much more valuable. It does not have the glitz and pazzaz. But what does that do for you? A momentary buzz. There is no lasting pleasure and joy in the glitz and superficial friendships of business and celebrity. Being one with your surroundings in a simple manner is true and lasting. If you care for the earth, it will reward you with pleasures and beauty that man cannot conceive or create, at best make futile copies.
