Sky is pitch dark when we arrive blind with exhaustion. A hot shower, alluring soft bedI’m in the dream world. Before dawn, air nips.Hot sips of coffee satisfy craving, warm my hands.Peaks and valley hundred shades of grey Whispering softly people fill the benches. A sheen of orange announces the sun,the gentle babble quiets. Radiance evaporates the mist,the greys take colors. Slowly peaks emerge, then the treetops above and the gorges below.A hush falls in the crowdwatching the sunrays paint in orange, gold, and glistening hues of viridian. Earth is being born. Inhalation. Exhalation. Inhalation. Exhalation. Inhalation. Exhalation.The newborn and I are one.I’m the earth. The Infant. The Immemorial.Imagine This repeating every morning!

Today and for the next few weeks I’ll post the poems I wrote after experiencing peak moments in nature. Looking up at Teton Range, Grand Canyons and Mount Denali. I share my deep feelings and photos whole heartedly with you. Hope you enjoy! TETON RANGEJackson, Wyoming On our way to Yellowstoneour bus stops for a bathroom break. Waiting last in linemidst summer meadows of swaying yellow flowers and wild grass,I inhale the same air as the Teton Mountain Range. I see people existing a log cabin.

Dear Friends,Deepak Chopra defines peak moments of self-realization as having six characteristics. To illustrate each character, below I’ve quoted from my won experiences at various National Parks in the United States that are included in the book, Unblock Your Creative Flow: 12 Months of Mindfulness for Writers and Artists.
