You are Known

“You are seen.

You are known.

You are loved.

-SARK

“Love isn’t concerned with being fluffy and good looking- love moves endlessly on in indelible waves of wonderment, and I am astonished by its endless surging onward.”

-SARK

There are so many ways to Love!  So many incarnations, expressions, tapestries, layers, emotions…

For me reading SARK’s deeply felt words today, “multiplying the love exponentially”, I felt my love for the wild ones rise up, vividly and passionately. The emotion was rich, almost overwhelming.  Beautiful.  It felt right to use these images of elk, for the post.  Yes, I see you, I know you and I love you.  Especially as hunting season gets underway here in Montana, there too is a place for this reverence and awe.  There is wonder in their wildness, their families, their sovereignty to live wild and free.

If you don’t already, follow SARK as she re-embraces Love after devastating loss.  For the pain there are no words for, she has found them.  Eloquently.  And still, after some time for deep grief, she “dated the world” and then allowed her heart to evolve again into opening to all of the universe’s gifts. And there, waiting, where it had always been, she found LOVE.

Here’s a sample of SARK’s writing about her astonished reawakened Love.  Subscribe for her always inspirational posts. Highly recommended!  As Maya Angelou says, “We in this world, and this weary world itself, have a great gaping need for SARK.” Indeed.

And as you likely know SARK periodically, in addition to these inspirational posts, offers empowering workshops and writing retreats (on line and in person).

Stay “astonished ya’ll!  Love is always there.  Always. In All Ways.

Yellowstone – A Gallery of Photos

Yellowstone.  Majestic earth workings of every sort.  Power.  Everlasting change and evolution. Steaming water, geysers, grand waterfalls, canyons, a deep and wide lake, fumaroles, mud pots, elk, bighorn sheep, grizzlies, black bear, cats, moose, and wolves!!  Nine packs of wolves vying for dominance and survival, taking care of their families, broadening their empires.  What a vision of nature’s overwhelming diversity and drive for balance.  Life continuing in all its exuberance.  There is never enough time to take it all in.  I want to return and spend weeks in the Lamar Valley, getting to know the wolves and the landscapes.  To become part of it, to know it.  Undiminished by the island it has become, it is still becoming.  So alive, so magnificent.  Mysterious and overwhelmingly powerful.

“A thousand Yellowstone wonders are calling, ‘Look up and down and round about you.”

-John Muir, 1898

“There is nothing so American as our national parks…. The fundamental idea behind the parks…is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us.”

– President Franklin D. Roosevelt
