"Someone once inquired of a Far Eastern Zen master, who had a great serenity and peace about him no matter what pressures he faced, “How do you maintain that serenity and peace?” He replied, “I never leave my place of meditation.” He meditated early in the morning and for the rest of the day, he carried the peace of those moments with him in his mind and heart."

One of the most wonderful advantages of having a place on the Oregon Coast is the natural beauty we have the opportunity to observe. The photos we have been able to take of the sunsets, the ocean, the wildlife, the forests are the kind of beauty and peace that I hope to carry with me forever.

Oh I love all three of these posts...I'm hoping for your mom, too, Pati. Also, Al looks like a Zen Master, sitting there in that beautiful place!
I wish I could be sitting right where Al is--I'm a beach/ocean lover and that looks like my kind of place! Gorgeous picture.
