Continental Divide and a Navajo tale

The Continental Divide is fascinating to me.  A very spiritual place.It was so quiet and not another soul in sight. Spot and I were wandering around  and taking pictures when this Navajo Native American  came walking around the path.  He was very friendly and asked all about Spot. Before he went on his way...he said.."I want to give you a Navajo  blessing "  he proceeded to chant a Navajo prayer over me and Spot! It was an incredible experience. I was overwhelmed and tears welled up in my eyes.  ..and he said  don't cry , it is a good thing.  This is something that I can't begin to explain to anyone. After he left, I sat there and stared at the phenomenal grandeur all around me and felt so lucky and blessed.  

My life has been a series of events lately. I have been on a path which has led me to many  amazing adventures. My own private moments of reflection amidst  the most beautiful scenery in the USA have given me such inner peace and joy.  Wide open spaces. Wide open heart.
