Shortly after taking this photo, I settled into my body, out a blindfold on, and listened to Ram Dass' Suffering meditation.

I am so glad I was able to sit, surrounded by grasses and wild flowers, while the sun shined down on me, under a veil of darkness.

I cannot say I am profoundly changed by this moment, but most certainly by these ideas.

The next time I have unavoidable suffering, or am experiencing suffering that I have difficulty letting go of, I will certainly return here.

I feel so open to tonight's camping experience, now.
