Song: Soundtrack From The Silent Flute
My wife and Bandi went on a very short...
but beautiful walk this morning...
just near home.
It had lightly snowed last night...
leaving behind just enough snow to muffle any sound...
and to leave a white fantasy setting.
You can still see some of the Aspen leaves which have yet to fall.
After a snowfall...
everything becomes a fantasyland...
with the silence becoming the music.
This is when your innermost desires become known to you.
It is only in the silence of serenity do you ever get to know yourself...
and only those of a pure heart will like what they find...
and so...
will revel and flourish in it.
During periods of silence...
it is only those who had found an undesirable self or future...
who attempt to fill the void with some sort of drug...
or other form of noise, ugliness, or chaos.
--------------
Tomorrow...
my wife will be climbing the Manitou Incline.
I will be driving her to the base of the incline...
where she will begin the climb up.
I will just be eating and walking around Manitou Springs
until she texts me that her hike had been completed.
It should take her at least four hours to complete the hike...
so...
I will just take photos in town until her return.
As I have already done a lifetime worth of hiking while I was in the Army...
and as I am quite a bit older than is my wife...
and she is interested in testing her body during strenuous activities...
while she'll be a 'testin'...
I'll be a 'restin' :)
