Mountain flowers

 


William Wordsworth joined me as I wandered the hills this afternoon - at least his words came to me suddenly:
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden arrowleaf balsamroot;
Beside the trail, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze....
OK, well, those aren't quite his words, but there were no daffodils in the area. But I was no less thrilled than Mr. Wordsworth at the beauty of what I saw. I am so enthralled by wildflowers; their beauty, variety, color, scent, variations - so much to appreciate!
Truly, I #GiveThanks for the pure joy of flowers, one of nature's happiest gifts to us.

Persistence

  There's a principle of persistence that applies to climbing mountains, but also to many other aspects of life. We all get tired, we "run out of gas," we get frustrated with delays, we despair of reaching our goal, we think the job will never end, we keep waiting for the weather to improve, we become frustrated with "enduring." We give up, and we probably never know if we stopped just short of the point of significant achievement. The most growth often comes at, and after, that point of fatigue. I really appreciate the quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. It was a favorite of Heber J. Grant and is often attributed to him, but he was quoting Emerson when he spoke it. It makes sense that we get more comfortable and competent at anything we persist in doing. Hard things become easier as we become practiced and proficient. On the other hand, there is sometimes wisdom in not "running faster than we are able." Or running longer than we are able! There comes a po...

The colors of nature

Image
The attached pictures are a few of many I took during the past day. I've been thinking about how much I #GiveThanks for nature's gift of color, and for my ability to perceive it. It's easy to be impressed by the varied colors of beautiful wildflowers - they always delight me with their vibrance and variety. There is tremendous variation in the colors of rocks and minerals, in planta and animals, and of course in glorious sunsets. Color is everywhere!! People who are colorblind typically can't see the entire color spectrum. They see muted views of some colors, and for example may have trouble distinguishing between red and green. That can be a handicap in a world where color conveys meaning; but it must also lessen the joy of appreciating what most of us enjoy. I've sometimes wondered if there are other properties in the world around us that could convey information as unique as color, that maybe we are not aware of or not capable of detecting. Fascinating to consid...

Fixing pottery and other broken things

Image
People in almost all parts of the world have been making vessels from clay for thousands of years; pottery is considered one of the oldest of human inventions. When I studied archaeology in Israel, I learned that each group of people tends to have their own distinctive pottery design, based not only on the purpose of the container but also on aesthetics and artistry: size, shape, thickness, curvature, handles, type of clay, glazing, adornments, etc. Because of that, pottery is one of the most useful keys to archaeology, particularly to dating the inhabitants of an excavated site and sometimes their origins or commercial interactions. However, ancient pottery isn't often discovered in complete, identifiable form. People discard pottery because it breaks, or it gets broken as a city is invaded and destroyed. Then a few hundred or thousand years later, archaeologists come along and find the pieces (called sherds or shards). If they are lucky, most of the pieces are found close togethe...
