Some days, I just want to sit and stare at something beautiful.
For no other reason than I can.
I should.
I need to.
And because there is beauty.
Sometimes there is just beauty in sitting and staring.
At memories.

Yes-sir-ee. My sentiments exactly. Why is this so hard?

I think “slow” and “slow down” have become cuss words for some reason. Appreciation and reflection should always be ‘good’ things. Thanks Tess.

So why the melancholy?

I don’t know if it’s melancholy. Though, perhaps, it is somewhat. I sent you an email with other info. But truly, I like the idea of sitting before something beautiful and having the freedom to be still and appreciate.

It’s easier to close your eyes and see the memory than it is to try and find the picture.

I can remember many years ago I would escape and walk in the mountains alone for hours. Occasionally I get to pass those mountains once more and I love to look at them and realise my life has got a whole lot better. Those mountains were my friends at the time, and made me feel free for awhile. Now when I pass them I see their beauty and I relish real freedom. I loved this post for reminding me of that memory.

I love this reflection, Colleen. I SOOOOOO hope you will start a series of greeting cards. I think they would sell! These little drawings are delightful.
By the way, on my post today, I left out one thing out that will interest you and David–namely that all along the Tomebamba River, which I write about, there is a lovely bike trail.
Hugs from Ecuador,
Kathy

Isn’t there though? Sometimes I see things (like the waterfalls on my last trip) and just want to sit for hours and stare. That’s it. Just sit and stare, hearing it, being there. And sometimes I want to sit and think and think and think, remembering. And feeling good about those things I remember.
