David shared a wonderful poem by Mark Nepo. It reminds us life is not something to plan. Life is something we live. We exist in a state of flux and float in the breeze like a bird trusting the currents of the stream.
We took these pictures in Glacier National Park. It reminds me how nature just exists. There are no plan as such and no purpose than to be in a paricular moment. The waterfall does not care that we build roads and drive on them. It just flows.

How lovely…is that a white mountain goat?
It is. They keep their distance. We have mountain sheep in our parks and they are typically on the road or beside it.
Beautuful captures and thoughts 🙏🏻
Thank you.
I understand the waterfall. These days, I just flow along with whatever comes my way and enjoy life more as a result.
I try to do the same. It is not always easy.
Beautiful💜🌸
Thank you Lara.
Love the photos and hope to visit Glacier in September. Can’t wait!
Thank you Bela. It is a beautiful part of the world. Its northern border is with Alberta’s Waterton National Park and the two form an International Peace Park.
Thanks for sharing Ivon. Your photos are so close to home, so close to my heart. Thank you.
And your post reminds me of:
“A longing to wander tears my heart when I hear trees rustling in the wind at evening. If one listens to them silently for a long time, this longing reveals its kernel, its meaning. It is not so much a matter of escaping from one’s suffering, though it may seem to be so. It is a longing for home, for a memory of the mother, for new metaphors for life. It leads home. Every path leads homeward…
– Hermann Hesse (Bäume. Betrachtungen und Gedichte)
Hesse wrote so well and in such metophoric ways.
You are welcome David. Even though I was not born in the mountains, I find peace in them.
