September 7th - Day 14 - Drumheller to Brooks, Alberta
| The further I get from home, the more panicy I feel! I have to keep breathing and centering to maintain balance. What a change from when I was younger! With age I have become more aware of my own "center-edness", or "at-home-ness" in myself. I'd like that "at-home-ness" to stay in one place! But then, I would be missing so much....... |
| Jessie and I walked in the Badlands this morning while waiting for the Royal Tyrell Museum to open. This is a good time to come - it's still cool and the crowds I saw later haven't arrived yet. I think of "Badlands" as desert dry and loaded with rattlesnakes! Here it is full of life; grasses and many plants, rabbits (big ones!), trees of different varieties, etc. Life survives and grows everywhere I think, in one form or another. Haven't heard or seen a snake yet! |

| The exhibits at the Royal Tyrell Museum are awesome. It seems to me that evolution and the millions of years that this earth was in formation are more a hymn of praise to the Creator than believing that "He" created it all in six days. I prefer the image of God's Spirit hovering over it all, bringing life from stage to stage. Then, putting people into the "mix", which makes things very interesting! |
