SERENITY & CALIFORNIA’S EASTERN SIERRA NEVADA’S ~ Oct. 2012
I lay in the meadow until the unwrinkled serenity entered in my bones, and
made me one with the still greenery, the drifting clouds.

A THREE PRONG APPROACH TO GOOD LIVING
1) REMEMBER OUR VOWS
2) PRACTICE PATIENCE
3) REFRAIN FROM OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOUR
GREENING LUMINESCENCE
1) SUSTAINABILITY - For at least seven generations
2) GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY
3) SOCIAL JUSTICE & RESPONSIBILITY - personal & global
4) NON VIOLENCE - a call to arms is the last choice
5) DIVERSITY - biological, cultural & spiritual
6) POST PATRIARCHAL CONSCIOUSNESS
7) SEXUAL & RACIAL EQUALITY
8) DECENTRALIZATION - of energy, politics & wealth.
9) ECOLOGICAL WISDOM
Such a beautiful quote. ππΏ
Yes – I should remember to lay down in the grass more often… of course when the weather’s better π Cheers, Bruce.
thank you for sharing your trip’s beauty, Bruce!
inspires me to get over to that side, again π
Your welcome David. Francis and I found that the eastern side of the mountains had quite a “mellow feeling” and we’ve traveled there twice, avoiding the central valley. We’re a bit sad and stunned about your current political situation and Fran and I made a vow at the end of your last federal election, we would not travel to the United States until things changed to a more moderate leadership. I am so heartened that you an others work so hard to be that voice of love, compassion, and moderation that world so much yearns for, at this precarious moment of history. Good cheers and friendship, as always – Bruce
here’s wishing you safety,
and happiness in travel
that can’t be found
any longer in the US, Bruce!
my distant hope is that it will
again be a desirable place
to visit in my lifetime.
may you be well & happy π
Peace and joy on earth, right there. Thank you for your fine shots.
Your welcome Cynthia. I appreciate your appreciation.

Thank you Abrachan. It’s a beautiful sunset. Hope all’s well on your islands near Kerala.
Bruce, these pictures are food for my soul. Thanks.

Wonderful, Janet. . . I recall you traveled to California not so long go. Must bring back good memories. π
I did and it does. π
Majestic landscapes often have an inherent serenity factor!
Yes the beauty of nature often has this effect, doesnβt it Annette? At times I try to take a picture of something not so beautiful or serene (like an oil well or industrial complex, for example) and Iβm never quite able to catch the essence of it. So much easier in the natural world.
so true. I think our human nature is much more attuned to natural scenes than those industrial sites….
