I just got back from a 3-day, 2-night trip. We went backpacking in the Belly River Valley, up near the Canadian border. It was fabulous! I'm still alive. And I will post photos tomorrow!
In the meantime, I have a super important news flash: I posted an incorrect address a couple posts ago. SO, my real address is as follows:
Emilie Schuler
c/o Sarah Grieb
P.O. Box 82
West Glacier, MT 59936.
The only change is the zipcode. It will still get here if you wrote the other zip code, but the post office asked me to kindly update it to the correct zipcode. So, once again, I love getting letters, and people who send me letters get awesome Glacier postcards in return! :)
So, stay tuned for photos tomorrow. Here's a sneak preview of the weekend's photos:
This is me (still looking good after 7 miles of hiking, if I may say so myself) in front of the Gros Ventre Falls, taken by Caiti who has had the wherewithall to upload all her photos already. I promise more will come soon!

Hi, Emilie~ Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteWe missed you while you were gone.
Here's a little something I read I thought you would like:
Thoreau claimed that he needed no less than four hours a day of
"sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely
free from all worldly engagements."
(excerpt from Awakening to the Sacred, by Lama Surya Das)
I love reading your posts, and get a good chuckle everytime :)
Have a great week, my precious girl.
MOM
That was a post from MOM (Sophie was using my computer last night...)
ReplyDeleteFor Emilie:
ReplyDeleteMeditation: GROW YOURSELF
Go to a garden
And just stand in it.
Breathe in the air, the fragrances,
the light, the temperature,
the music of the different plants, insects, birds, worms,
caterpillars, grasshoppers, and butterflies.
Inhale the prana (cosmic energy) of all these abundantly
growing things.
Recharge your batteries.
This is the joy of natural meditation.
(from Awakening to the Sacred, Surya Das)
Hello Emilie!
ReplyDeleteI sat in the woods behind KMU today and watched a young bird getting fed by his dad. It was so nice to just sit and watch and listen...I'm sure you must be enjoying it so much!
Tried to call twice today...wonder if you were out or sleeping?
I'll try again tomorrow. Dad said he had a great talk with you. And Grandma Coco was SOOO HAPPY you wrote and called her on her birthday :))
Talk to you soon.
MOM
