A sunny summer afternoon
The wind is blowing through the trees
The scent of fresh-cut grass and flowers fills the air
From afar the church bells are ringing at half past 3
I sit and look across the mountains
My thoughts are traveling beyond them where the ocean lies
And then I drift into memories of the past
Oh what a year of rise and fall
Of going down and standing tall
One of my best years ever, I think
So much I picked up, sowed, and let grow
I turn my head and here it flies
A butterfly so white
Bringing me back to the present moment
I see the fruits I already could reap
The fruits of life’s unfolding make me stand in awe
Causing gratitude for every bow I needed to take to sow a seed
For the garden of my life
My life is a garden of white roses now
Again the butterfly continues its journey
I follow its lighthearted flight
Into a future where I will be able
To reap the fruits of the seeds I sow today
The seeds of the fruits I already hold in my hands
Seeds of happiness
Seeds of thankfulness
Seeds of love
All is well, I think
All is simply well
On this sunny summer afternoon
In Love and Light

It was beautiful and inspiring, as you see 😉 It made me once more aware of the blessings I am surrounded by. Life can be beautiful when we sow the seeds of the fruits we want to reap. (Oh, will make the last sentene a quote :D)

Beautiful! I grew up with a view of Pike’s Peak from my bedroom window. The view always brought a sense of peace. I missed it when we moved across the country.

I don’t know how it was, if I lived somewhere else for a longer time. But I did not miss the mountains at all while we lived in Buffalo. I enjoyed the “flat” earth… lol. But I have to admit that today I appreciate the scenery more than before. Thank you 🙂

Oh yeah, we had some unbearable days for a while there, 100 and above. Today it finally cooled down, thank goodness. We had the AC going 24/7 and we don’t like to waste electricity if we don’t have to.

But thank God you have an AC. Imagine without. I heard that there are already fires going. How is the situation?

Oh yeah, Erika, we actually only have one in the front of the apartment and it really doesn’t cool off the back bedrooms so it’s really like hell when we go to sleep, even though we have fans.
I’m not seeing any recent news about the brush fires to they must all be under control. Thanks for your concern.

Oh no, from a certain temperatur on the fans don’t do it anymore. It is the same over here. We don’t have AC but we have better isolated houses. But once the heat is in you almost don’t get it out anymore. With every floor it is getting warmer.

That actually is really not very comfortable anymore. What means “cooled off”? Only in the upper 90s?

Yes, we really need the rain but it rains so hard here and I really don’t think the city is equipped for it. Makes it very difficult to drive. Hopefully it will not be too rainy for your visit.

I experienced some heavy Californian rainfalls. That is not funny at all. The thread of mudslides and the roads are slippery. And yes, the city definitely is not prepared for something like that.
