Yesterday I learned an important lesson, we can't survive alone in this world; we need others without whose company we would die. I have been blessed with a unique amount of free time to explore the special beauty of quiet arctic rivers. As in the photo above my world is seen as if reflected in a peaceful mirror; oh so wonderful but for me deadly.
People we not put on this earth to spend their life isolated from each other; we are no different than cells in our body; we all have a special place and function to keep the body we are part of healthy and living. When we separate ourselves we can only do so if it is for the very fragile purpose of gaining a closer relationship to the Giver of all life. I say fragile because though it is important to secure this life giving relationship, we MUST pass it along to the rest of the body or we begin to perish.
Alaska is a very unique place known for the people who strike of into a wilderness and return with riches. In the above photo I have discovered many of these riches among which is the peace, quiet flowing clear waters, mother ducks with their brood of ducklings, moose who watch in curiosity to find out what the big long orange fish is doing in the waters but of greatest beauty yesterday I discovered a delicate beautiful white flower blossom. What made this flower an item to be mentioned as having the greatest beauty? Well, it is simply because it was blooming where no person could ever live in its presence or ever smell its fragrance yet they it was undulating ever so gracefully in a breeze no human will know.
What kind of flower is this? Well it is real and I brought one home last night to place in my window. It like my writings are real but like my writings most are in an enviroment that most people can enter. My task today is to make a great effort to take my writings collected over 30 years and extract the nectar to put in a form that will help others experience the essence of the beauty that made my journey on earth all worth while.
For those who are interested I will do two things, I will place my writing in a form more tangible without needing hundreds of dollars of computer equipment to read it and secondly, I will make an effort to try and capture an image of the above mentioned flower though it grows where no person could live let alone a camera could go.
Summary: Those who live in solitude can do so if they draw close to the Giver of Light and Life; if people do not draw close to the Giver of Light and Life there is only one other out come that comes from their isolation and that is a dislike for the Light,. living their lives prefering to miss the day time and seek rather to live for the hours of darkness and all be beings of that world. It is all so simple, either we are like birds that soar amid beams of the sun or we are like bats prefering to hide from the light in dark caves waiting for the night to come; in this later case such habits set us up for a trap that will rob us and others of life.
