The 2 motorcyclists I talked with at the gas station – waving like crazy when later passing me
Arriving on desert BLM land in AZ and having endless views
Hours of sunset and moon photography
Nature at work: Having time to watch ants dismantle a piece of Dolce’s food and carry pieces 5x their body mass. I tried to follow one ant to its destination and it ended up snared in a web by a small spider.
Having and taking time to meditate
Feeling connected to the earth and God at a depth that affirms my belief in the possibility of world peace and freedom for all beings
Awaking to the sunrise reflecting off the RV
Dolce safely returning after chasing a coyote at dusk and the man camping ¼ mile away roaring up in his jeep with his gun prepared to help me. The impetus for her return: me shouting that I had her ball. This experience is causing me to pause and consider the risk vs. reward of freedom.
I won’t jump to immediate conclusions.
