Our lives arise from a reservoir of vast silence - the presence of the One who is eternally lost in love.

 

On Friday, I snowshoed up to Bierstadt Lake. The switchbacking trail was completely drifted over, and I was the first to make it up to the lake after the snowstorm a day earlier. I love visiting mountain lakes in the wintertime. The sense of spaciousness, solitude and simplicity - all rolled into one - puts me in a meditative state of mind that helps heal the stresses caused by life in society. Like these grasses barely jutting up above the snow, I remember that my life arises from a reservoir of vast silence - the presence of the Source, the One who is eternally lost in love.
