Now THIS is real living! After hiking seven miles, I came to treeline just as a huge thunderstorm let loose. Seeking shelter under a large rock, I ate my lunch while serenaded by the driving rain and by several hermit thrushes, who seemed to be enjoying the storm immensely. Then, when the lightning passed, I walked out into the open through marshy meadows brimming with wildflowers. Bog-water filled and overflowed my boots, making me feel at one with the vibrantly-alive landscape. A half-dozen cascading streams danced into the nearby lake, singing all the way down. What a way to be immersed in the seamless, infinite flow of the Spirit! "Rivers of living water will flow from your innermost being," Jesus exclaimed. Yes!
