Green Days in Morro Bay

~Eagles~
'Learn to be still'

It's just another day in paradise As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence Those voices ringing in your head

You thought you could find happiness Just over that green hill

You thought you would be satisfied

But you never will- Learn to be still

We're like sheep without a shepherd

We don't know how to be alone

So we wander 'round this desert

And wind up following the wrong gods home

But the flock cries out for another

And they keep answering that bell

And one more starry-eyed messiah

Meets a violent farewell-

Learn to be still

Now the flowers in your garden

They don't smell so sweet

Maybe you've forgotten

The heaven lying at your feet

There are so many contridictions

In all these messages we send

We keep asking:

How do I get out of here

Where do I fit in?

Though the world is torn and shaken

Even if your heart is breakin'

It's waiting for you to awaken

And someday you will-

Learn to be still

Back in March I took a drive up to Morro Bay.The fields were still green from the winter's rain. It's nice to look back at the green. Right now everything is so dry.
History tells us that what usually happens will probably happen again. Therefor I know that the winter rains will come again and green up our hillsides once more. The deer will find plenty to eat and stop trying to find out how to get to our cactus. In wintertime, things will be good again... But come wintertime I'll yearn for the warm sandy beaches of summer, the prolific cactus harvests, and ease of driving on dry roads with no rain reducing visibility. Yes, every season has it's issues, blessings and challenges. It does not matter who or what or where we are, we all have our burdens in life. It's difficult but best to look past the burdens and accept them as man's daily lot...But the blessings are so easy to overlook and pass by in the rush to provide a living. What a shame it is to pass over the small moments one can have of happiness. Accept happiness and blessings when they come your way, we all deserve some decent time of fun and happiness.
This road for example; to be able to drive along a serene country road in the early springtime is a pleasure. And I have the photographs and the memory locked in my head of that day.It was a good day.
San Luis Obispo County is a really great place to live, we've been truly blessed.
