i have recently been struck by the incredible irony found in a fairly common activity.

none of us probably find rest, true rest anyway, as much as we would like. and when we do we may be prone to walking right past it, on to another project, phone call, or anything of the like. i mean, it's so hard to actually let your body settle down. clear your mind. breathe deep fresh air.

not trying to be all zen-like on you guys. but it just occurred to me. what if we made a point to take time and rest during the current season. what if we were found resting during a time of marked change? autumn is most notably recognized because of the fast paced change of nature all around us. and how beautiful are the trees, the colors, that particular shade of light that carries reds and oranges with it? and what if we allowed ourselves to get caught up. caught up in the middle of that. suspended between beauty. and rested.

you can feel free to check out the following link if you're interested in downloading a pc wallpaper i designed with all of this in mind, influenced also by the latest da piece, "Fall Away".

I love getting away from it all at this time of year. Just sitting back and soaking it all in while communing with God. I was out Saturday and walked out this trail to a beautiful spot and was just sitting enjoying the beauty of it all and reading the little Gospel of John that I keep in my camera bag. It was so awesome. Of course, I got so lost in the moment that by the time I realized the sun was setting and I was twenty minutes into the woods without a flashlight, I had to boot it out of there in a hurry to get back to the car before dark :)

Nice wallpaper by the way. I just set it on my desktop here at work.

Just because you encounter an obstacle, doesn't mean you should change directions.
