The Land of Many Glaciers -- Glacier N.P.

We were blessed with 5 sunny and warm days as we hiked in Glacier National Park. Greeted with lush green meadows, cascading waterfalls, erratics left by the glacial flows strewn through the meadows, rock walls, flowers that graced the mountainsides, the emerald green of glacially fed lakes,, nanny goats with their babes, young big horn sheep and other wildlife, even bear scat with no bear in sight. We experienced an environment where war and human pain/suffering do not exist; where peace can be lived as it should be, where we know and accept that we must return to that "other world" to share our gifts and talents in a place where peace and joy are hard to find or identify. I am forever grateful for such an opportunity.
