A Thursday Treasure ~ Feb 21, 2013

 

Banish the hurry of your life

Unplug and open your eyes

Lichen growing on a fallen tree

Little things

 Lessons to the wise

 

“Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.”

Henry David Thoreau

 



Just a Thought Series ~ Feb 13, 1970

The majesty of rock cliff bones

Rise above our heads

Sweet air

Muscles spring to life with the climb

Ascent and descent to the womb of the falls

Late morning at Tahquitz Falls

Warm smoothness

Of long washed granite

Carved by a constant flow

Within and without

Under the sun's warmth

Remember yourself

Be true to your free spirit

Imagination with meaning
Becomes reality

I knew nothing about the history of Tahquitz Falls or the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians when my friend took me to this magical place forty plus years ago and I wrote my thoughts. I found these words today on the Tahquitz Canyon website http://www.tahquitzcanyon.com. There is much to be learned from our ancestors, never forget we are all of the tribe Human. 

This is a place of contrasts;

it is a place of ancient and new,

a place of power.

Come with the right purpose

 and a clear mind to enjoy it beauty and mystery.
