“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” ~ Lao Tzu
Life is better when un-rushed. And, given the fleeting nature of this life, why waste even a moment by rushing through it?
Cold Morning and Fresh Snow
Be thankful! we all have so many things to be grateful for and so many things and people we take for granted. Make this day a good day!
Happy
“The purpose of our lives is to be happy.” ~Dalai Lama
If you’ve been pondering your purpose lately, this is a quick way to get grounded again, and to take an inventory of what’s working and what’s not in your life. You may find another purpose for your life, but underneath it all is this deeper underlying purpose.
Make this day a Happy day!

Pawnee Buttes National Grassland
Pawnee Buttes
What is now a sea of grass and sky called Pawnee National Grassland was once littered with hopeful frontier families foraging westward in humble wagons. The Homestead Act brought around six million settlers to the West’s plains by 1890, but harsh winters and droughts crushed their hopes of growing crops.
Yesterday I made my second trip to the Pawnee Buttes. This is a wonderful get-away from the daily hustle and bustle of town. With only about 35 visitors a day, it’s the place for beautiful solitude. The is a birdwatchers paradise and well worth the drive. This prairie is just like it was when people traveled the Overland trail. Nice to find the wide open grassland and imagine the Indian people and cowboys who first rode those lands. If you like open areas, this is for you. There is a decent hiking trail to the Pawnee Buttes. There are some neat areas to explore once you are at the Buttes. I love the wide open spaces and blue sky. It can get windy, so prepare for that.
Have a good day!
Land
What we have lost will never be returned to us. The land will not heal – too much blood. All we can do is learn from the past and make peace with it.
Dream Mountain
Sometimes, I think there are only two instructions we need to follow to develop and deepen our spiritual life.
1. Slow Down
2. Let Go
Good day everyone!!
