“But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit.

 

For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

 

For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

 

Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.

 

The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

 

The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.”

 

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2:9-16‬ ESV‬

I found remnants of a scuffle between either a predator or the gale force winds from last week's storm. Feathers and tufts of fluff were scattered along the creek where I was photographing.

In between house painting and fighting rolly pollies in the garden, I managed a quick trip to Buckeye Reservoir. Between the cows and low water levels, I managed to find some magic.

I came upon this image this morning after reviewing the weather forecast and thought how it resembeled the crazy wind coming at us from every which way blowing the front door open, the cold and rain/snow bearing down from the north, the smoke blocking views of the mountains, spits of rain on the window, and little fires everywhere.

This year has been particularly smokey in southeast Utah. Fires belching smoke from California, Arizona, Colorado, and within Utah have kept us indoors several days. Last night as we drove in to Moab for groceries and pears to can, we noticed a fire crawling up the side of South Mountain, 3 miles from our house. It wasn't raging and the wind was fairly calm coming from the southwest which was a good sign. It was also burning up an alluvial fan that burned 7 years ago so there wasn't much fuel. There are still some smoke coming from the steep canyons, but no active fire is visible. I am thankful for my husband who has worked tirelessly the last couple of years to chop and mow a defensible space around our house amidst the dry, dry grasses and sagebrush. Sending out a global hug to all those who have been impacted by the disasters of flood, fire, earthquakes, and disease.
