Look to Your Soul

 

On my recent wildflower hike up Ingalls creek close to Leavenworth, an old Johnny Rivers song somehow started playing in my mind and I could not get it out. The song was "Look to Your Soul" on his introspective Realization Album released decades ago, I believe the late 60's. I have not even thought of this song in decades also, but somehow on this trip it moved front and center of my mind for continuous playing. The song is about loosing oneself trying to be something one is not and finding redemption through looking into one's own soul. We can not help but look into our own souls when in such beautiful places like this. With lupines in a meadow between trees, with the steady flow of the river water running right through the core of our being, with a gentle wind caressing our skin, with an impenetrable deep and dark ok to Your Soulforest in the distance-we are in nature, and nature is in us.
