But it was all so BROWN!!! I know that it had been dry out there, with some fires in Montana, but every bit of brown helped me to appreciate GREEN even more!
On our way out there, Terry and I stopped off at the Black Hills of South Dakota, and THAT felt like "home" to me. Of course, since I come from PA originally, I suppose that anything like the Allegheny mountain range will remind me of home. But the mountains in the Black Hills were GREEN (and not Black like I was picturing) because the trees are a very DARK green!!!Isn't it beautiful how we are able to perceive our world??? Our senses are sooo powerful!!! They can even make us cry when the emotions are touched by our senses!!! They can make our hearts beat faster too!!
Like when we saw our first bear in Yellowstone, and we were outside of the car filming it, and it suddenly stood up on its hind legs! Everyone around us moved back!!!! And yet, this bear had no interest in us. It was quite obvious to all of us that he was standing up to get a better look at the antelope that was also plainly in sight and moving away. We all "knew" this. Yet I think that we all LOVED the anticipation of potential excitement in our lives, for we ALL love to seek this emotion to feel ALIVE!!!!
So just beware in YOUR life!!! You may be seeking the emotions to feel ALIVE!!!! And sometimes we find the darndest ways to embrace them!!!!
