Reminds me of any one of dozens of small rivers and streams where I grew up in Michigan. I never appreciated them enough at the time, so thanks for bring back some beautiful memories.
Jealousy is not an admirable human trait, but admittedly I'm jealous of this beautiful spot...yet thankful you shared! Hmmm...a jealous, grateful heart
One of the most restful rejuvenating things one could do is sit for a while and enjoy a remote woodland waterfall.
"Did you ever sit and shiver, when just looking at a river."
Spinoza and Einstein's theory is that one finds God in nature. They were both somewhat smarter than I am, so I'll take their word for it. The word is Pantheism.
Beautiful photo A Mac. It's probably a good thing you did it today. That low pressure system has been traveling through this part of the country for the last two days giving us some much needed rain.
I like the "If you want a little sunshine, you need a little rain" and we certainly received some over the last couple of days. Looks like it is headed your way. I don't see how there would be any left if it reaches you, but it is pulling it off the coast. I expect it will be raining to some degree here for at least another day or two.
Dear Friend A. Mac: Revelation is G-d trying to communicate with man.
Religion is man trying to communicate with G-d.
All too often. these are parallel lines of discourse. They simply cannot intersect.
Enoch,
When you put it in those terms, I can find accord; perhaps I should make the distinction between religion and religiosity -- although I much prefer the word and concept -- spirituality.
What a beautiful picture and the title "A Bit of Sanity for the FP" is appropriate.
As the colors begin to change around here, our walks have become more frequent and longer and there are times when we sit and stare at the beauty around us without saying anything. The spiritually refreshing and mentally recharging powers of nature are limitless.
Your title is a propos. The Front Page has gone completely insane - no longer consecutive order so that articles with recent replies get pushed off while more dormant articles remain.

I spent much of this day in the woods around scenes like the one in my photo
then I came out of the woods, turned on my computer and went to the NT Front Page
The woods are much more civil and kind I wonder if it's because there is evidence of God all around but not a shred of religion.
I love the photo Mac.
Spiritual.

That is where nature comes in.
Commune with that and a sense of peace envelopes you. You can really feel the Shachinah (Divine Presence) in dialogue with plants and animals.

What a nice way to wake up on a Sunday morn'. Thanks for that Mac.
