- Camping in Blair Valley – Borrego Springs
*inspired by camping trip to Borrego Springs Presidents’ week-end 2010
How I thrive in stillness
In the silence of this rugged terrain
Shrill sounds of birds refrain
The chance to release my cluttered thoughts and duress
To feel Mother Earth’s comforting caress.
I ask myself what really matters – it is clear
It is all right here
The chance to rove around far and near
To revel in simplicity
To set my soul free
To watch an ant crawl
And let this be ‘all’.
To realize I take myself everywhere I go
On a deeper level I really do know
I’m at home wherever I take me
And with Jim is where I want to be.
Yet I release my attachments
To any confinements
Of how I insist life ought to be
I leave them in the sand
Of this mind and heart expanding land
And open myself up to a whole new decree
Life fully supports me
I own the key!
You really know how to embrace present moment awareness and enjoy the beauty of nature!

Thank you, Gina. I feel so blessed to have such magnificent nature so close to where I live. I just had lunch on my patio looking out at the Fortuna Mountains listening to birds. What a joy it is!
