There exists in life an overwhelming, soul-dwelling understanding of nature, inherent in the human mind. Senses, and the very notion of feeling, thought, and guts, are entirely too primitive to comprehend all of nature's greatness and absolute wonder. It's like the intuitive "knowing" of love; the conceptual feeling, the expression, and its undeniable "magical" feeling. You know that feeling in the innermost depths of your being---it's like the only thing great enough in this world to be able to actually brush against your soul. It's above everyday senses, and it shatters the finite bounds of all intellect, and logical comprehension.

Tahnk you for exemplifying the quote so well. The question, to me, is the path protecting us from the woods or are the fences on the path protecting the woods from us?
"'Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a ride!"'
Whoa Nelly! This one is a doozie. Not only are the colors bold and beautiful, but the angle of the path and the fence look great. I also love the sunlight and shadows. This is a clear cut winner. Nice, John.
This is wonderful John. You are so lucky to be able to walk through this lovely place, but also thank you for taking us on this journey with you. It looks so different to earlier in the year, that it could almost be a different place altogether! Well done!

The shadow and light that filter through the mind when one is on a journey of remembrance are just on the edge of being. We must use these tools to enhance what we once experienced. We also use them to help us find our way back when we stray too far. They protect our journey but can also take us to a place where there is no return.
Great shadow play, John and you caught the clear blue of the sky beyond the trees as well. This looks like a great place to hang out and hide from the strong rays of the coming summer sunshine.
