"Present Moment Awareness" says it ...Melanie - Yes! "Present Moment Awareness" says it well. To be engaged with nature is to be engaged with both worlds - the interior landscape and the exterior landscape. Magic happens when these two worlds intersect.

And perhaps our paths will cross in person, hopefully during one of my Colorado retreats, and you can share a bit of your writing with the group.<BR/><BR/>PageAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36980566.post-23451408310237022922008-04-28T08:58:00.000-06:002008-04-28T08:58:00.000-06:00Page,Perhaps one of the reasons outdoor retreats a...Page,<BR/><BR/>Perhaps one of the reasons outdoor retreats and writing seem to go hand in hand is that nature is the ultimate model for authenticity. My own experience with nature is one of touching the natural world and, simultaneously, touching something deep within myself. Present moment awareness takes over and that is where magic resides. My best writing happens in those moments when I tap into something both deep within me and more universal than my own experience. Nature provides bread crumbs back to the self.<BR/><BR/>Melanie MulhallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36980566.post-89354697995614717912008-04-28T08:26:00.000-06:002008-04-28T08:26:00.000-06:00I know Page from her Wyoming ranch days.

Maybe I'll start journaling again instead of just writing other people's stories.Monique Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414457511443898789noreply@blogger.com
