Yosemite and stuff

So I'm kinda not the best at this whole doing things on a regular basis type thing but better to have it than not I suppose.

Anyway I just got back from Yosemite, Tuolumne Meadows to be exact. It was an awesome experience... I've always loved it there, I've gone just about every summer since I was 4, but this time it was different... I hadn't been able to go for the past couple years and I had been anticipating the trip all summer. I had been struggling with loneliness alot the past year and before that... mostly due to just watching too many romantic comedies...hehe. But on this trip I experienced some of this but also had times of solitude where I wasn't pining away but enjoying my own personal time in God's creation. This was especially evident at Cathedral Lake which has definitely become a cathedral to me- it was just so beautiful and magnificent from the smallest damsel fly to the highest peak everything there worked together in harmony and for a short while I was a part of it and felt such peace and awe and love for God and His creation. I just hope that I can return to that spot for many years to come....

On another note I already miss the wilderness- on the way back you could see the smog flowing out of the LA Basin... pretty disgusting, aw well, dont you just love SoCal!! :)

Hey. Blogging is awesome, even if it's not totally on a schedule... and yay for times of solitude! I hope you get more and more of that, and continue to rest in the fact that He is with you wherever you go.
much love, and may your blog let you, as well as others, learn more about yourself. :-)
