Touching the Sacred.....



this is how it happens for me…..

last night i was home alone
i glanced up from my work
to see an amazing golden glow outside
i grabbed my camera
and stepped into the light

on one side of me
was a spectacular full-bow rainbow
(did i mention it hasn’t rained since april
and it never rains in september either??)


on my other side was
an incredible constantly-changing sunset
i literally did not know where to look


after taking my shots
i put on some native american music
grabbed a little glass on sauvignon blanc
and sat outside
under my dilapidated shade ramada


listening to rain and crickets
smelling the wet earth
and watching the evolving light
i stayed right there
until darkness fell
and beyond (i’ve missed the dark)

this is how it happens for me…..

  4. Yes!! I would have grabbed a glass of wine as well, Native American music is ALWAYS fine with me, and just watching this natural drama - priceless. Gorgeous photos!

  8. You reminded me that I have a Native American chant that I got from iTunes a while ago. I listen to it when I meditate or when I am in savasana after Shiva Nata practice. It makes me feel like I am connected to the earth. (It's Yeha-Noha by Sacred Spirit.)
