Beautiful sentiment, Cathy. :)

True, Kim. I'm fortunate that I've learned to heed it more and ignore it less. Tough to do when you're looking for checks and not relationships, though.

Jake, it was a pleasure! I see why you love it there - really. Great place, even in the heat. Thanks for the book recommendation, but thanks especially for meeting up for coffee!

Anne, if it weren't 6 hours each way, I'd have been at your doorstep. :)) Our time is coming, I swear. ;)

What!!!! You met with Jake!!!! I'm so jealous and I wasn't that far away.... whine whine whine.

Lovely post and Jake is absolutely right about Desert Solitaire and any other of Abbey's writing.

Truly glad you're back. Great lessons.

Great fun to meet up with you while you were out here, Lori! And glad the desert was inspiring for you--it continues to be so for me, after 20 years. BTW, if you haven't read "Desert Solitaire" (about Edward Abbey's park ranger years in Arches and Canyonlands), I highly recommend it.

Trust and follow your instincts. I don't know what happens to us over time that causes us doubt our gut feelings, but I'm re-learning how to recognize and respond to them.

The words that speak loudest are those found in the silence of nature. 🙂
