Overheard from backpackers at a nearby table...

"You'd be surprised; we fill our day with nothing."

    Enjoy the pleasure bestowed on you,
    and bear the pain bestowed on you,
    wait patiently for what time brings,
    as does the farmer with the fruit.

    it happened to me in the mountains, I feel blessed. Happy trails to you- Denise

  3. Ah, it was this 'nothing' and the vast open spaces that I loved so much about travel—the great open empty space of mind that gets filled with nothing, is nothing, and still it is all we have to experience the world through. The next challenge is knowing that all the trivial personal business that occupies "busy" days is essentially composed just as much of 'nothing' in the deepest sense.
    blessings to you,
    shaila
