A 'Giving Back' Season.....








"The mountains and forests want for nothing, yet they are giving of everything... The lakes and oceans share all, yet ask for so little... It is then our choice to give as well... to give back... out of respect... with no desire or expectations of our own..." Grey Wolf
Grey Wolf also said, "If you take that stone, you must give something back."
So... I've gathered small rocks, painted them, and placed well over a thousand now, out on one adventure or another... I call them 'Summit Stones'... They are my simple gesture, of anonymously giving just a little back...
It seems the season to reflect on such gifts...

"Power Places....."







"This is one of his power places... You sense a spirit here, an unspoken strength. It almost oozes from the rock through its thousands of cracks and crevices. Overhead, ravens soar by...".
A. Hobson
This quote always reminds me of those places I've adventured where such sensations have been present... They are such powerful experiences...
