How do I know that?\u00a0 Because I&#8217;ve been there.\u00a0 A lot. And, I am one peaceful dude:)<\/p>\n<p>So our group of Windermere visitors, on Tuesday July 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, gathered by the barn to call in the Light &#8212; which is Living In God&#8217;s Holy Thoughts.\u00a0 And, what is really cool is that someone from Bulgaria called in the Light \u2013 in \u2013 wait for it \u2013 Bulgarian.\u00a0 Wow.\u00a0 And a sweet inner voice came through for me that said, &#8216;Isn&#8217;t it nice to understand when you don&#8217;t understand?&#8217;\u00a0\u00a0 I call it love.<\/p>\n<p>So, with love leading the way (I&#8217;m not sure we have a choice, but it&#8217;s just fine with me) we headed for Quelin Rocks, some of us walking and some riding in the Kubota.\u00a0 And, the weather decided to be very cool and way foggy.\u00a0 The kind of fog that slips up from the Pacific Ocean, wrapping momentarily around the towering boulders around Quelin, and then moving on to give another rocky hug.\u00a0 Makes me want to just stand there and whisper, \u201cMe, me. How about me?\u201d\u00a0 We called in the Light in English at Quelin while sitting \u2013 most of us barefoot to be more sensitive to the subtle vibration of these magical sandstone structures \u2013 and we chanted a bit and had a few moments of silence while the fog silently slid by.<\/p>\n<p>And then the tour guide (tall guy, gray hair, tells lame jokes) rudely interrupted the profound \u201ctime in space\u201d to say that we were heading back to the barn for food.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve always found food to be a nice partner whilst on a spiritual path in the mountains.\u00a0 I think everyone agreed since there was basically nothing left to eat when we finished and began to paint. Paint what? Windermere rocks.\u00a0 Oh. We painted with the intention of symbolizing peace on stone to be placed at the foot of the peace pole next to Pharaoh Pond .\u00a0 MJ had gathered up some paint and brushes \u2013 and even rocks &#8212; for people to use and it was a big hit as in \u201cyou could hear a pin drop\u201d and small brushes sliding across small rocks held in hands that were so full of love, those rocks will surely bless all those that come after to visit the Peace Pole.<\/p>\n<p>We eventually climbed back into the truck and trailer and made our way to Pharaoh Pond and after a sweet moment of reflection (have you ever focused on your reflection in a pond?) we clamored up the boulder ridge known as Top Rock and once again called in the Light \u2013 this time in Spanish.\u00a0 So cool.\u00a0 Someone said that we were creating a forest of columns of Light.\u00a0 I said, \u201ca whole forest?\u201d and she said, \u201cwell, there&#8217;s always room for one more.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Don&#8217;t you love the people this stuff attracts? \u00a0I do.\u00a0 Especially when everyone chipped in when we got back to the barn and helped put away all the chairs and tables.\u00a0 Can you be both loving and helpful?\u00a0 Yes, you can!<\/p>\n<p>As the cars and vans pulled away in the late afternoon I stood at the barn and wallowed in the essence of peace.\u00a0 Beautiful people bringing their essence of peace to a land where it seems as though peace was born \u2013 in a home.\u00a0 A home made of love, always anxious to wrap its arms around the next innocent victim.\u00a0 Maybe even wrap its arms around a piano a friend needs to move.\u00a0 Well, maybe \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Love you all,<br \/>\nDave Wright<\/p>\n<p><strong>VIEW THE PHOTOS<\/strong><br \/>\n<div style=\"max-width: 640px;
