Aesthetic Moment: Lake Superior

The energy in the woods today is gentle.  Yesterday we took a road trip to Lake Superior to see the fall colors and the Lake.  Lake Superior must be my most favorite place.  The energy I receive from it lasts a long time.

What is it about the Lake that triggers the spirits within me? I could sit for hours listening to the rhythm of the waves. I could walk the beach looking for that one incredibly special pebble with a stripe that has been polished smooth with the water’s movement.  I could sit there all day.

What is it about the lake that puts me in touch with my soul?  Is it its vastness?  Is it where the sky and water meet and seem to never end? Perhaps it is all these things – we just need to let our spirits listen to the earth and calm our souls.  And to become part of its energy.  It is the same way for me when I sit out in the morning – my spirit becomes part of the soul of the earth.  It is glorious.
