Unexpected gifts

"High intention sets the Universe in motion."  ~Armand Hammer

From Ely I headed south down Interstate 29 and stopped at the Glacier Lakes Rest area.  There I met a couple of interesting people.  First there was Bev Thoen on her way to a B-day party for her mother.  The other person was Leonard Larson,  a truck driver, father and excited about life.  Leonard purchased a chair kit and a Buckthorn Peace Chair-apy book for his nephew Chris and his bride to be Megan for their wedding gift.  Thank you for sharing your stories with me Leonard, you gave me inspiration.

I spent some time in Tilford, SD at my friends Mark and Cate;s place.  Cate hosted a peace chair building playshop this past spring at Bear Butte, SD and is currently on a Spiritual Road trip of her own.  I was pleased to learn that many people are enjoying the chairs here in the Peidmont area.
While staying at Mark and Cate's place I met their neighbor Danny that has a great organic in his yard.  I purchased some gas (fruits and veggies) for my body.

Spent a night in the Black Hills near a mountain stream.  The sound of the water lulled me to sleep.

My next stop was at Luke and Kaytlin's house in Livingston, Montana.  Luke their son Samuel and I went to the Yellowstone river for the afternoon swimming and fishing.  My intention was not to fish since I didn't have a local fishing licence.  However, I gave into the desire to cast and was caught by the local law enforcement and was fined $135.00.  I tried to give him a sad story and get out of it but he was a real ball buster.  Just another lesson for me that if I'm to live in this world of rules, I either play by them or pay the price.  So last night Luke, Bill and I did a Full Moon Sweat lodge and was able to find forgiveness and understanding in what I create.  I take responsibility for my breaking the law fishing and paid the price with GRATETUDE.

Today I was blessed to share some time with a group of children at the Montessori Island School here in Livingston. The Island School is an incredible place.  They have a pony, a goat and a sheep.  They also have a veggie and flower gardens all integrated into their recess/play area. They also have a Peace Garden.  I envision a Peace chair in their garden.  Planting more peace seeds.  Life doesn't get much better than that!

Kaytlin works part time at the school and invited me to along.  I shared the Peace Chair with the kids and like all kids they loved it.  Kelley Myer is the elementary director and is excited to start a Peace Chair Project within their school and is already talking about sharing the concept with two other local Montessori schools.  I look forward to see how this latest venture comes together.

Looks like I'll be spending another eventing on Outlaw Hill.  Thank you Spirit.
