Hi Tim,

 

Speaking for myself, I'd put on a pair

of skis and do a little 'shushing and bobbing'

down those slopes. :-) Never is God easier to 'see'

.....and to step inside of....than when gliding

down a quiet mountain trail.

God is the Mountain.

 

Problem is, when one tries to Master 'it',

or get to the top of 'it', or prove one's

worthiness as a Mountain climber.....

one rarely looks beyond the act of

'climbing'(other than noticing where

one is in relation to other people trying

to make it to the 'top').. to breathe in the

Mountain Itself.

 

If you get tired of this

'spiritual game' of

climbing mountains,

I have a second set of skis

you can borrow. :-)

 

Instead of hiking our

hineys off trying to get

somewhere, we can float

thru the air drinking in

the entire landscape. :-)

 

I love freshly powdered trails.

Don't you?

 

lightly,

Melody
