The Meadow at McClure

In the valley of Evolution there exists a meadow that opens your views to the massive surrounding granite peaks. This meadow is very peaceful with tall grass and wild flowers tantalizing your senses as the backdrop of the mountains focus you inward.

One sits at the edge of the meadow as the wind gently blows, providing sweet music accompanied by soft songs of nearby birds and their seemingly constant happy nature. The gentle ray’s of late afternoon sun glistens across the tall blades of grass that are dancing magically in the wind.

This meadow provides a vision of the every changing nature of our world as you see the once glacier carved lake turn to meadow and continue its journey as it begins to nourish a few trees from the encroaching forest. As in life, the changes taking place remind one that the present moment is all that truly exists and the importance of enjoying each moment during the life you have.

The quote

"The mountains are fountains of men as well as of rivers, of glaciers, of fertile soil. The great poets, philosophers, prophets, able men whose thought and deeds have moved the world, have come down from the mountains."

John Muir
