This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 10, 2009:
Siona asked:
If you had to live out your life in one village or town or city, which would you choose, and why?
I haven't found it yet, but it is real in my mind's eye.
There's a cold mountain stream whose water sings as it moves along the crystal stones in its path, off to the side a little lake where fish swim amongst lotus flowers. A fresh crisp mountain breeze brings my attention to a view of mountains. Aged trees as guardians below which to be in contemplation. Deer graze nearby, and birds sing as the mountain tops glow with the golden sunlight of the sun's early rays. Distant snow-covered peaks glisten in the silvery light of the moon.
Fruit and almonds grow in a grove of trees bordering the vegetable patch e at the back of the little cottage, powered by the sun.
I'm not really looking for it; perhaps because in my mind's eye, I'm already living there.

ah, how very very lovely…
what is lovely the rose??
Yes! The rose is lovely…as is the presence of visitors in the mountain home!
oh, look! i can see you, too, across the lake from me! isn't it lovely up here?
I'm a neighbor, too. Especially if the ocean is also very near. And, yes, we're already there/here.
Thank you for this powerful upliftment!
Love, OM Bastet
In the mountains, sound travels quicker vertically than horizontally - I discovered this in the foothills of the Himalayas mountains in childhood…
So dear peak-dwellers, it took me this long to read your comments! We're neighbors close in spirit and distant in sound. The journeys we take to each other take us through the beautiful surroundings….
Yes, I'm rambling. Got lost in the beauty of those I see around me;o
Question:
If a mystic laughs in the mountains, and no one is nearby to hear it
Will the sound echo?
ah, a Sunday morning meditation! hmmm… i say yes ~ the soul and the one are always listening!
Beautiful, Gia! …And soulmandala has spoken. Thank you.
There probably really is no distance between us and our laughter is felt by those who laugh, even as we walk in our garden within. So much of what we are doing is not seen with the eye. Thank you for sharing your sacred space.
