There is forever a part of me that seeks for, and appreciates, the simple. To shape life. To shape me. To shape us. To shape learning. To shape orientation. To shape next step.
Dana and I drove to Maple Grove Hot Springs on Saturday. To check it out as a possible venue for hosting groups. There are accommodations for groups up to about 30 in size. With really attractive yurts for sleeping and for meeting. Right on the Bear River which means canoe, kayaks. And, featuring natural hot springs and baths, six of them. Which means good body-attending soaks. And then forest. Paths to walk.
There is a forever part of me that looks for words to describe the simple.
Perhaps more accurately, my relationship with the simple, with the clear, with the Zen of it. I often write these words, drafted or completed in my journal. To remind me. To live into what is simple, yet clear.
Here’s what I wrote recently. For inspiration. And perhaps invitation to appreciate the journey in simple ways of seeing, being, doing.

I am here.
This much I know.
My breath belongs here.
This much I feel.
My heart beats here.
This much I love.
I am here.
With others being here.
And then this, similarly.

Oh, what journey.
This following the river.
This climbing the hills.
This resting beneath tree.
Oh, what journey.
To meet companions.
To remember together.
To open to the heart of it all.
