Mountain scenic views, like this one along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Western North Carolina, rest the eyes, inspire noble thoughts, and restore the soul of all those who treasure mountain landscapes.
May we endeavor to live lives such that others who observe our life story will find rest, inspiration, and restoration.

It is always special to experience seeing the moonlight softly shining across some water. Playing with us, peaking in and out of the clouds, creates a desire to stay present with our experience, waiting to see what will be next. Sharing the experience with a friend helps us to bridge the gap between the times when too much or too little is asked of us. Yet, being able to share even a few moments of time like this we can feel freshly alive, aware, and present.

Enjoying fanciful landscapes happens best when we are able to engage on the journey within that scene. If not possible to walk the path, then we can engage with the emotions that the image provokes and respond with actions that are inspired by those emotions and the new thoughts they bring forth.
