COOL OF THE DAWN

_DSC0586+(1).jpg

THESE DAIRY COWS ARE ENJOYING EARLY-MORNING GRAZING.

Landis' dairy cows are enjoying early-morning grazing. Within an hour of this picture, the cows had headed for the trees. Everything heads for shade in weather like this. The cool of the dawn is rewarding during these dog days of summer...

This is a quick communication to remind you to place orders by Thursday afternoon this week. I will be out of town this weekend, but we will be in-force at Hyde Park on Sunday, with help from Bob. The slider shack will be running, thanks to Susan's children, and I will be visiting mine on other horizons. We will be at Findlay Market on Saturday only and at Blue Ash the following Wednesday.

Stay cool and find the dawn.

Sacred Place

Sacred Place

It is a privilege to know a sacred place, as I feel I do. In some ways, it seems sacred places are supposed to be scarce and remote, like Stonehenge, Chartres Cathedral, the Taj Mahal, or abandoned Pueblo dwellings. Large landscapes, like the desert, ocean, or mountain ranges feel imbued with the divine. Alaska, the Amazon, and the Serengeti invite a sense of awe. One travels to such places, in pilgrimage. And sometimes such places reorganize the pilgrim's sense of order, inviting disorder or change, that can be both painful and uplifting.

Big Muddy

Here is the Lower Mississippi River, 45 feet below normal pool. Over Thanksgiving, Susan and I shoehorned ourselves onto a cruise ship to learn about the lower Mississippi and its bayou. We started in Memphis and ended up in New Orleans, with stops along the way to explore river towns. This river is the third longest on the planet, providing drainage to 40% of North America. It has historically deposited silt yearly in its floodplains, producing topsoil 120 feet deep, making these soils some of the richest in the world. Vast wetland forests grew beside its banks, of cypress, oaks, and sycamores, populated by a rich array of black bears, deer, bobcats, alligators, and aquatic life. This was the legendary bayou.

Streams & Souls

Streams & Souls

Streams and souls seem to share character. They are life-giving, they are coveted, they can be impeded, they can be channelized, they can be overwhelmed, they flood, they dry up, they flow downhill, they are a force of both change and constancy, they lie at the center of a community, they will not be denied, and because of this great complexity, they attract periodic resistance. So, it seems that streams may serve as a metaphor for the journey of the soul.
