Leelanau ... All For Nothing

Everybody wants something from you.  Right?

 They want your time, … your money.
Your friendship, … your love.
Your attention, … your allegiance.

 And more.

 To some, you gladly give.
To others, well ….

 But there is One who asks absolutely nothing of us.

 Sitting on this windswept dune, high above this great lake,
I finally feel free of the countless demands.

 Indeed, I am now the recipient of countless gifts from She who expects nothing in return.

 Like the gifts of white capped waves on a soothing blue inland sea, ...
A crisp, pine-scented breeze, ...
The cool morning mist drifting over forested hills, ...

 And more.

 And for all this, ... She wants nothing from me.

 Nothing.

On Chance In Leelanau

Image
Photo Courtesy Of Pure Michigan I like to contemplate chance encounters. Like when I'm walking the beach at Platte Bay, ... And another solitary hiker approaches from the shadow of the dunes. As we pass, we might exchange a smile, a greeting, perhaps a few trite words. Just two travelers, on a stretch of sand, in a fleeting moment ... Which will likely never be repeated in the history of the world. Still, I marvel at how we got here - strangers, you and I. How from the beginning of time ... To the circumstances of our births, To the unfolding of our lives, To our decision to walk the beach at Platte Bay, To the precise interplay of our gravity, force and momentum, The universe has conspired ... To cross our paths ... At this very minute. What are the chances?

In Leelanau, ... Looking Back

Image
Empire  Beach  Sunset To behold a Leelanau sunset, Is to glimpse a bit of heaven from earth. But not in real time. For to look at a Leelanau sunset, Is to look back in time - About 8.3 minutes ago to be precise. Which is the time it takes for our sunlight To make its 93 million mile journey To the Land of Delight. So, the sun actually sets eight plus minutes before the sunset image we view from our little planet. Indeed, everything we see in this universe is time delayed, By milliseconds to millions of years, Depending upon its distance from our eyes. In other words, ... In Leelanau and beyond, Now is an illusion.

A Leelanau Christmas

Image
  View From Empire Beach When I was a younger man,  He never told me ... There would be longings without fulfillment. There would be heartaches without healing. There would be questions without answers. But now, as an older man, I remember what He did say ... There would be love without conditions. Nothing else really matters.
