I escaped to a small, private lake earlier this month.

It was the first weekend that we -finally- had warm weather.

I glamped in a 1970s camper surrounded by trees.

I had a couple of campfires. I forgot to bring marshmallows.

 

I admired the deep blue sky at night as the full moon rose.

 

I stared at the scenery. I took a couple of naps and finished a book.

 

I walked along the trails.

 

A statue of Buddha contemplates the tall grass. In another area, a collection of similar statues presides over a simple labyrinth.

 

A couple of boats were available, if I was so inclined. I am not.

But staring at that serene lake?

 

Or gently resting in the arms of a swing seat hung from a tall tree?

Definitely for me.

You can stay in this beautiful spot, too. Itโ€™s affordable โ€“ even for one person โ€“ and convenient to Grand Rapids if youโ€™re interested in city lights.

But for me, a quiet escape to the lake was perfect.

Random Quote

Be, and at the same time, not be. To be or not to be, but then, to be and not to be. Both at the same time. The best thing is to be living, and yet not living. Dying yet not dying. That is the object of Zen discipline.

— D.T. Suzuki
