The mountains are powerful - they can teach us things about ourselves, about our friends and about the earth we live on. Last night as I was talking with the Beaver Brook group they told me about hiking through the clouds and wind on the summit of Mt. Moosilauke and how small they felt in the face of this powerful planet that we live on!
In our daily lives we're sometimes disconnected from the power of the earth... until a
natural disaster reminds us. But sometimes the reminder is much more gentle. Take for example this series of pictures all taken within one hour of each other.

I believe that if we can remind ourselves more frequently of the power, beauty and value of the natural world we can live more centered lives. What do you think?

This is a beautiful sentiment and something I experience every day on campus as I walk up to Moore Center, taking in the view of the far ridge over Kennedy Field, the flowering trees near the ARC, watery views of the pond, and children moving along the path. Beauty is awesome and inspiring in nature and in our friends and family. Thanks for showing these 3 views, Hans.
Thanks for sharing this, Martha! It's so easy to forget isn't it?!
