Peeking through, trying to see to the other side, trying to see what is there, and not quite able to do it... You're still making it all fuzzy..

Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight
You will be alright
'Cause there's no one like you in the universe.
Don't be afraid
What your mind conceives
You should make a stand
Stand up for what you believe
And tonight
We can truly say
Together we're invincible.
By Matthew Bellamy
Antony Passage is a hamlet situated beside a tidal section of the River Lynher just south of Saltash, S.E. Cornwall, where Forder Lake adjoins the river.
This group of cottages is associated with the mill pond, just off to the right, the stone house in the middle being the Old Mill. Dating back to 1613, with evidence for a mill back to late medieval times, the mill pond is an early example of harnessing the tides to provide power. As the tide goes out and comes in, the water rushes through the narrow channel between the old mill and the stone boundary wall.

What an absolutely beautiful day! I have windows and doors open today. There's a light breeze, lots of sun and a little humidity. It's extremely hot and in the mid 90's in Albuquerque today, so happy I'm here!
We can still see through the trees as the are through shedding leaves and are budding now.

Happy Wing Wednesday!
This one's from early July 2021. There was a haze high up in the atmosphere from wildfires burning further west. I couldn't walk much as the incident in Glacier that started my back down this spiral had happened about a week before. I was early in the process of learning how bad it was, and well, the kind way to say it is that I'm stubborn. All I knew then was that I couldn't walk well enough to go see the geo-thermals like I wanted to; so, I spent a lot of time looking for grizzlies along a section of the road I had been tipped off that they frequented. That road was a two-hour drive from the campsite, and I drove that road for all 6 days I was in the park. Yeah, stubborn. My efforts were rewarded with many bear shots of which I'm quite proud. I made quite a few memories and some friends in the effort as well. The thing that struck me was that every night it seemed had these spectacular sunsets. It took a while for me to put two and two together and realize the role the haze from the destructive wildfires was playing in these beautiful evenings.
I think about my back injury a lot these days. Constant pain has a way of demanding attention. Just last night I ended up spending a few hours on the floor because there was no position anywhere that didn't hurt and that one at least hurt in a different way. I tell these stories because I know others fight similar, if different, battles. I know that sometimes the scars seem so worn and thick that nothing good could ever come. I also see the sunsets from the wildfires. I don't know what good and beautiful thing is being worked through this pain. Somehow, I do still trust that in some way that I don't see, it is there. And that it is good.
My mind likes the way C.S. Lewis approached these thoughts. Here are several different quotes jumbled together from his book, The Problem of Pain.
"Love is something more stern and splendid than mere kindness."
"Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained."
"The problem of reconciling human suffering with the existence of a God who loves, is only insoluble so long as we attach a trivial meaning to the word ‘love’, and look on things as if man were the centre of them.
Man is not the centre. God does not exist for the sake of man. Man does not exist for his own sake. ‘Thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created’ [Revelation 4:11]. We were made not primarily that we may love God (though we were made for that too) but that God may love us, that we may become objects in which the Divine love may rest ‘well pleased’. To ask that God’s love should be content with us as we are is to ask that God should cease to be God: because He is what He is, His love must, in the nature of things, be impeded and repelled, by certain stains in our present character, and because He already loves us He must labour to make us lovable. We cannot even wish, in our better moments, that He could reconcile Himself to our present impurities—no more than the beggar maid could wish that King Cophetua should be content with her rags and dirt, or a dog, once having learned to love man, could wish that man were such as to tolerate in his house the snapping, verminous, polluting creature of the wild pack. What we would here and now call our ‘happiness’ is not the end God chiefly has in view: but when we are such as He can love without impediment, we shall in fact be happy."
"I must add, too, that the only purpose of the book is to solve the intellectual problem raised by suffering; for the far higher task of teaching fortitude and patience I was never fool enough to suppose myself qualified, nor have I anything to offer my readers except my conviction that when pain is to be borne, a little courage helps more than much knowledge, a little human sympathy more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of God more than all. "
