There is a strong sense of spirit in this place. The spirit of overcoming what troubles us even when it feels impossible. The circle of life in the soft breezes brought a smile to my face even if I was anxious and scared. California poppies are in bloom in wonderful splashes of bright orange along with other wild flowers all around this area and you can see Mt Tam, too. I love the legend of Mt Tam and can see the sleeping Indian Maiden clearly. Breath taking and a loving image.

So, as usual, centering brought a smile and some comfort. I will have to remember this and go to this special place while trying to deal with some difficult decisions along the way.

i know what you mean about having a special place to find centering. Mine is atop Waterrock Knob on the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC...
