Bear Butte a must see...



IF I could go anywhere today, it would be here. Bear Butte, in the Black Hills of S.D. My good friend Kelly took me there some time back, and although the name I often forget, the image is forever engrained in my memory. I am awestruck by mother natures hand in making such formations to exist. I sometimes wonder how many people really take time to capture nature's handiwork. Today, sitting at my desk, I peer out the window to the dead lilac bushes that brush my window pane. Often birds perch upon the lilacs and I don't think much of it. Today, however one determined bird kept pecking at the bud, after many failed attemts, the bird finally got what is was yearning for. I need to take more breaks, additional time to catch my breath and watch it spiral to the heavens on a cold winter day, to fully capture the sun on my sill, instead of closing it, and to grasp greatness I have in front of me. Nature is a painted masterpiece, a masterpiece sometimes we truly overlook. ..
enjoy what we have, enjoy what you can see, and for whatever it is worth, go explore the beauty in front of you... even if it means you get caught up in daydream at work.
