From Journal Entry 6/6/2011
A man is hanging from a side of a mountain on a rope. Something is wrong and there is the presence of danger. He was the first one up and his friend is below him. The rope is going to break. He looks out to the distance and sees a lake. In the lake is a bear. The bear is basking in the sun and frolicking in the water. The man's eyes meet the Bear's eyes. His consciousness merges with the bear. He feels a connection with nature and only presence. There in no fear or immediate danger.
Animals can live inside the landscape without our noisy self-consciousness. When we turn and go with them, we enter a silence and a transcendence. We perceive through their eyes with their energies.
