Happy People…Happy Dance

I saw this video yesterday and it really stirred me--I love it. Over the last month or so I’ve re-discovered how much I enjoy dancing. It’s a blast to just move your body to the music and let go of stuffy inhibitions.

Try it and you’ll see what I mean. Start the video and turn up the volume. Stand up and dance a jig. Go ahead and check it out. Nobody is going to see you and even if they who cares. I’ll bet you can’t do it without smiling.

Enjoy, in joy….Let’s dance

Let There Be Light

I stopped frequently on my bicycle ride today to take photographs. Usually I’ll stop for something specific like a rock formation or a flower. After I take the photograph which I stopped for I always look around and see if anything else catches my eye.

On one of my stops today I was in shade under a large tree. The wind was blowing so the sun was sort of bobbing in and out between the branches. I noticed the changing light patterns and decided to try photographing it.

Rocky Mountain Clouds

The photos below were taken during a trip to Steamboat Springs Colorado about a month ago. The white cumulus clouds seemed to be rolling across the sky like cookie dough.

I love the mysterious ever-changing patterns of clouds. One moment there is a horse and the next there is a tree…seconds later there may be a face before blending once again into nothingness.

Such are the days of our lives…we come, we dance across the sky of life before blending once again from whence we came.

10 Seconds of Grace

I had a very close call during a bicycle ride this morning. I was cycling over Lee Hill Road above Boulder on my way to Jamestown. After crossing over the summit at just over 7,000 feet I was traveling at about 30 mph downhill toward Left Hand Canyon.

As I was going down the hill my intuition told me to be extra careful and slow down. The hill was super steep. So even though I could have gone much faster I began tapping my brakes and slowed down to about 20 mph.

Looking ahead I saw a car coming up the hill and around the corner. As it rounded the sharp curve it swerved across the opposing lane (my lane) and onto the opposite shoulder before correcting and getting back in their lane.

The whole thing unfolded just a few hundred feet in front of me. I estimate if I have been 8-10 seconds ahead of where I was there would have been an awful head-on collision between me and the car.

Needless to say, it was a little too close for comfort. The driver didn’t seem bothered at all. His correction seemed almost casual. It all happened so fast it didn’t occur to me until later how close I may have come to death.

And that is when I began to feel the grace of it all. I thought back over the morning of some of the various  things that gave me that extra 8-10 seconds on the clock—that extra sip of coffee before heading out the door, stopping for a quick drink of water coming up the hill, listening to my intuition telling me to slow down.

So I am here and I am grateful to be alive. Overall it was an incredible ride. I’ll devote another post just for the bicycle ride. For now, I am savoring the grace of a few seconds that probably saved my life.

Every moment is precious. Don’t take anything for granted.

Not All Plateaus Are Flat

Sunday I went for a drive up in the mountains to scout new bicycle routes. As I was coming back down Hwy. 7 into Lyons I noticed this giant plateau rising up on the hill in a distance. It was huge but what really struck me was the angle that it sits on.

And of course, it has meaning to me. Life is full of great plateaus. Most of them are predictably flat offering a refuge of rest and stability. And then every once in a while we encounter one that challenges our every step. The gravity of life works against us with every step.

And like all things, it too shall pass.

White Lilly

The flower arrangement at church this morning was really beautiful. One flower in particular caught my eye. I believe it is a Lilly but with my mistakes on naming flowers lately it wouldn’t surprise me if it was something else.

I love the close up detail. I believe the dust-like particles are pollen. There were a couple of other exceptional flowers in the arrangement too. Perhaps I’ll post them on another day.

Yellow Mums

Chrysanthemums, commonly known as Mums for short, are a beautiful and colorful flower. The plants grow about 2-3 feet high and produce a flower dense with petals.

I bought these yesterday and took them to an elderly friend. Her face lit up as bright as the color of the flower when she saw them.

Flowers are such a simple and wonderful gift sure to brighten almost any day. Mums are especially nice because of the bright colors and because they will hold their fresh bright look for quite a while in a vase of water.

Pure Iris

I have this thing with flower close-ups. I love photographing the inner beauty at the heart of the flower. I always see Mother Nature smiling at me. Sometimes I can almost hear them speaking to me.

The shots below were taken of flower in a vase in the lobby of Columbine Unity Church in Boulder. I dropped by yesterday for a chat with the minister and noticed the flowers were calling out to me as I walked by.

I’m now in the habit carrying my camera with me almost everywhere I go so snapped a few shots. The tough part was deciding which ones to post since they all looked great.

Fire

What do you see in the pictures below? Fire of course but try to look beyond the obvious. Do you see death and destruction or do you see a hot meal? Do you see fury and chaos or do you see a warm house. Do you see despair or do you see hope?

Rapid oxidation of the wood in the process of combustion was probably not your first answer although that’s exactly what the camp fire is in the photographs. The point is that things are often more about what they represent than what they are by strict definition.

Fire played a significant role in the evolution of our species. Evidence of fire among early humans dates back nearly 2 million years and became more controlled around 400,000 years ago. Fire continues to play a role in our daily lives although we may go weeks, days, months or even years without seeing a flame.

The power and the destructive ability of fire co-exist in every moment any flame burns. Such are the days of our lives. The fire of good and bad, right and wrong, for better or for worse co-exists within us all moment-to-moment.

Eye of Iris

Iris’ are an amazing flower. They seem to come in an endless variety of colors and color combinations. Looking down into the eye of the Iris reveals the intricate beauty of the face of nature.

The name Iris is appropriately taken from the Greek word for rainbow. When you look at the way the colors spread throughout the flower, the name really makes sense. The shape has a wondrous symmetry and elegance that radiate its beauty.

The photos below were taken from a mature Iris garden in North Boulder.
