Sacred Manuscript

There is One Holy Book, the sacred manuscript of nature, the only scripture which can enlighten the reader. . . . All scriptures before nature’s manuscript are as little pools of water before the ocean.

Hazrat Inayat Khan, “There Is One Holy Book”

This was taken yesterday morning at Pineridge Natural Area. You can see the smoke along the eastern horizon, looking dirty and ugly while blue sky above. Today the smoke is worse and there is no blue sky to be seen. We are unable to see the mountains in the west. The National Weather Service says the smoke is too high in the atmosphere to cause any respiratory concerns but it is visible. If you are interested here is a link to the Canadian Wildland Fire Information website. It is interactive and will show some interesting facts on the fires. The fires are the result of a heat wave pattern — described as an “omega block” by meteorologists. So, if we read nature’s manuscript correctly it is telling us that man’s impact on the climate is taking a toll. Just saying!

Meeting my grandson, Daryian, today for lunch at Hooters. His idea and should be fun. I hear they serve food there, also.

Retired. Having fun shooting Fujifilm cameras. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Earl and his son go for the wings. And they’re almost able to say that without laughing. Enjoy your lunch!

      It was fun and the food was pretty good. We had chicken wings and chicken fingers. Dayian received word yesterday of a promotion and starting June 1st will have his own PF Chang’s take out store. He is stoked. We had a flirtatious waitress which brought her a good tip. Neither one of us knows for sure what color her eyes were though… anyway the curly fries were good. Yep, I can see Earl going for the wings….

      Thank you Geri! Hoping all is well with you . It has been a hot day filled with smoke. A light breeze has blown all day so maybe it will clear up some. Hugs!

      I was not impressed with the food there. Probably not go back and support them. I eat at home more anyway. I can control how it’s made and so much cheaper.
