I was feeling rather unsettled about some things last week. After running some errands, I headed toward the mountains. Turns out that was just what I needed.
It’s a place where I can listen and learn.
The beauty is unmistakable, thorns and all.
It is a place of resilience.
It is ancient.
There is life and death, and beauty in both.
I hope today that you will be able to find a place that restores your soul. A place where you can listen and hear the whisper of God.

So beautiful
and so amazing that its the desert – but there is green. So glad you could get there!
Quite the forest of cacti you have there. Out away from the maddening crowds.
. .. crowded thinking, crowded living, out to where nature can whisper and we are finally able to hear. I pray the message you got was good. Keep listening to the whispers of our Lord.
thank you for sharing your desert pictures with us. they speak to me. it’s always been a place i’ve wanted to be but have not even visited. i can look at your pictures and find my alone time. thanks again. patti in florida
I’m glad you had this wonderful adventure to soothe your soul. I like to sit by water and just listen to the sound. Hugs,
Time alone in nature is good for the soul. I hope to find some time in the sunshine right in my own back yard today. I’m recovering from Covid and pneumonia. It’s been a long haul so far but I’m doing well.
How cool for you. I just l9ve your stories and quilts!!!
Thank you, it’s been a hard week. Gods not giving up on me & I’m not giving up on Him.

We all need some quiet reflective time in this chaotic world. Glad you recognized the need. Though for me that HD would scare the heck out of me. Braver girl than I.
Thanks for sharing pictures of God’s beautiful nature in AZ!

Your pictures are beautiful.. everyone needs a place to chill out. I have even used a bathroom..5 minutes alone and in quiet place. Till the cats realize I am missimg..
