It is a beaut...I lived in the desert for two years. It is a beautiful place and, yes, a terrifying place. Scorpions and snakes are only part of the fear...not to mention bobcat, javelina, mountain lion, gila monsters, spiders, terantula wasps...oh my. And, yes much waiting...for rain. For relief. For coolness. <br /><br />Lovely reflection you offer here...and this lectio process, too!Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8866251333575873059.post-11022814430505119772011-09-03T15:39:06.878-04:002011-09-03T15:39:06.878-04:00I am hoping for a good result soon with your broth...I am hoping for a good result soon with your brother. It is exciting to know a new baby will be here Tuesday!! I will be watching for good news on both counts! <br /><br />reading this post reminded me of golf. it was one of the best spiritual teachers I have ever had... the harder you 'tried' the worse it got... the more you trusted and stopped trying to guide the outcome, the better things went... letting go of the outcome, the desire, the willfulness... TOUGH lessons for me... surrender is difficult, but so rewarding (now, doesn't that mean I am still attached to the outcome?) I'm not sure the 'trying' to get an outcome ever stops... Not the same as you were saying, but similar.<br /><br />blessings ~ tannaTannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484104973009411729noreply@blogger.com
