LINUS RIP

Death Is No Big Deal As Told By Our Dog Linus:

I was not afraid to go.
No siree.
I was not sure about the Path.
But off I had to be.
I know tears might come.
But try not to cry for me.
I had a great earthly journey and
more fun than can be. Luke and Elijah
you are my pals from here to eternity.

I am now resting quietly on a gentle cloud.
Believe me, I am barking out LOUD!!!!
Just you boys remember to live joyfully.
I will be fine In Heaven’s Glory. Just
wait and one day you too will see.

Dedicated to all who have lost a pet. You too will see….

Linus

Autism Calmed By Nature

Many of you have met Luke through my writing on this blog. Luke has been diagnosed with Autism. Today camping brought solace to his mind. He enjoyed a day of outdoors, sitting by the river, and relaxing. Here are words to describe what I believe he was experiencing as we all do by nature in my opinion and a few photos of the area he was camping in the Cascade Mountains specifically Mt. Index in the Central area of the Cascades:

Rushing waters flow to me
Showing yourself so gently
Making my life seem tenderly calm
Sitting near you to feel your majesty

I am always thankful to see Luke resting in God’s creation. It is times like these that help me realize how close we as humans are to nature itself.

Be Still On The Mountain

A Journey As No Other.
Winter Be Still On The Mountain.
The Vast Change In Scenery Bursts.
Contemplations Of Escape There Are None.
May Time Be Left For Us Though It May Be Too Late.
The End Has Come.
A Journey Like No Other.

A journey like no other.

Travelling a road partly plowed.

Mt Hood, Oregon is finally within our view.

A mountain is in our view.

Mt. Hood’s rustic lodge is a place of peacefulness and serenity.

Mt. Hood’s lodge has many wooden carvings throughout.

Mt. Hood shows how fast the weather can change.

This is a skier’s paradise.
