The Okanagan Valley stretches below as I descend from Mt. Baldy.

Blaine's dad, Percy, who's life is now in the balance, took us to see this rock six or seven years ago. Yesterday I saw that it hadn't moved in all that time.

It makes me wonder about a lot of things: why and how it stopped there, and how long it's going to stay.

Sometimes I think not knowing is more fun than knowing everything.

My imagination opens wide.

How did these mountains rise?

 A succulent plant shows off it's subtle design in the morning light.
A crocus bloom is the first to herald the Spring.

How do the subtle forms of plants spring out?

And why do they keep on springing?

When I don't have answers, I have no choice but to open my eyes and look some more.

A little time spent looking finds so much...

Birch bark splits as a new growth ring is formed.

How does it do that? I don't know. And why??

I really find I'm clueless even with some scientific understanding.

 Birch bark peels away to make room for another ring of growth.
A horse stands close to me, wondering if he'll get another hand of grass.

But I've come to love my lack of knowing because there's freedom in it.

It's as if I'm forced to give up figuring and I simply stand, in awe of what is there before of me.

Like the balancing rock, I don't know how I got here or where I'm off to next...

But while I'm here it sure is great to look around.

Have a great week!
