To feel open-minded and open-hearted is beautiful;
to be free from the burden of anxiety, mistrust and planning the future; to be simply present.
In that willingness to be here with no preoccupations, defence or alternatives,
we can rest in a world which suddenly, surprisingly, feels like home.

FYI….. this is an image of Glendasan Valley – I only learned the name of this recently myself.
Hi Fiona,
Thanks for reading and for commenting. Nice to get a mail from Ireland I did not know exactly where it was. Would have thought, from your mail address, that you are more a sea than a mountain person!
Best wishes
Karl
