7:30 Bells: What Makes You Come Alive?
This weekend I visited a real Enchanted Forest--the Hoh
Rainforest in the Olympic National Park in Washington where my husband and I
celebrated our 23rd anniversary. Walking through the Hall of Moss with its
immense trees, I felt the same as when I’d watched the swallows in Siena fly around the Dumo. Here again, though in a different way, the ancient—the immense
old trees—joined with the ephemeral—the red maple leaves. Here again, this
joining of the ancient and the ephemeral made me feel as though I were standing
in the Forever Now.
Something about this makes me come alive, makes the bells
ring—this time in my own backyard. Now I know. What makes you come alive?
LORE OF THE BELL: Learn
what makes you come alive—listen for it, watch for it.
