I know the voice of depression still calls to you. I know those habits that can ruin your life still send their invitations. But you are with the Friend now and look so much stronger. You can stay that way and even bloom!  Keep squeezing drops of the Sun from your prayers and work and music and from your companions' beautiful laughter. Keep squeezing drops of the sun from the sacred hands and glance of your Beloved and, my dear, from the most insignificant movements of your own holy body. Learn to recognize the counterfeit coins that may buy you just a moment of pleasure but then drag you for days like a broken man behind a farting camel. You are with the Friend now. Learn what actions of yours delight hIm, what actions of yours bring freedom and love. Whenever you say God's name, dear pilgrim, my ears wish my head was missing so they could finally kiss each other and applaud all your nourishing wisdom!  O keep squeezing drops of the Sun from your prayers and work and music and from your companions' beautiful laughter, and from the most insignificant movements of your own holy body. Now, sweet one, be wise. Cast all your votes for dancing!

Go Jump in a Lake....Elizabeth Lake 6/12/13

Hiked to Elizabeth Lake today with Abigail.  First Lake Jump for 2013!!  EXTREMELY COLD!!!  But worth every goosebump.....

Bubbles...Parade Down the Panorama

The Panorama Trail brings back happy memories of one fantastic day in the life of Scott Rials...

This hike, 1 year later, was for you Scott...and you were there with us all.....

Free Wheelin' Lower Falls

Piper and I pushed my Mom and Dad to Lower Yosemite Falls Bridge....

Love, Eat, Pray

LOVE

Air conditioning can't cool the warmth the heart feels from months of giggling...

EAT

The warm, nurturing soul food that wraps their arms around the table and brings back what you've always known as family...

PRAY

...but not in the traditional, on your knees way....

although there have been moments when I've felt like begging

I think we need a password, or let's make that a pass-sentence.

That way, in case you ever come to my door in an emergency and God and I are busy inside,

we could just shout, Tell us the password!  if you really want to snuggle.

And part of that password will be you knowing it is really...a pass-sentence. And here it is in all its glory and truth:

Love kicks the ass of time and space.

Upon hearing that God and I would look at each other bewildered, but with delight. We would be glad someone had reached us...with the golden key on their tongue.

Though just to make sure we heard you right we might say in unison, Sing it loudly, baby! Cut loose! We need to double check!

And then if you did, a strength and smile might rise inside of you, and right next to my heart you might be for a moment...beaming like an eye that knows.

Don't forget now: LKTAOTAS

Maybe even tattoo that somewhere so you will remember.
