Scottsdale Library/Rock Shop, Wendy, SanCarlos Apache Tribe Wildlife & Rec Area, Roper Lake / Dankworth State Park, Essence of Tranquility !

Krumkake ! Imagine this cone filled with whipped cream and berriesThanks to Norwegian Bird and Katrina, a great visit at Essence of Tranquility, Safford AZ-so fun eating Krumkake and I got to eat them the next couple of days-yummy! Of course the water of the Hot Springs there warms and nourishes my soul-thanks to Owner Clarisse & son Mike for providing such a lovely place!

Pretty Roper Lake and Dankworth State Park where a dragonfly landed on my hand and I got the picture!

SanCarlos Apache Tribe Wildlife and Recreation Area where I spent the day exploring, but mostly soaking in their natural warm springs which I had all to myself! Fascinated by the grasses dancing in the wind

Tuesday had a 4-hour coffee klatch with Wendy after I mailed IRS stuff.

I continue the Essene practices recommended by Jesus-morning: in mind’s eye, hug a tree while inhaling deeply then on exhale say the word life for as many times as it takes me to feel the quickening in my body; noon: inhale deeply and become one with the infinite Sound that creates until I feel a quickening in my body; before sleep: draw in the light of stars/ moon/ sun then putting the Light where my wings would be if I were an angel to travel to the heavens for a night with our Heavenly Father. I believe that in the day we are nestled in the arms of Mother Earth and at night with our Heavenly Father, the Creator. The quickening for me feels like butterflies flying about within me.

Not sure this will publish, but I’ll try!

Tonight’s full moon at Homolovi AZ State Park

Last night Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff taking picture of image in telescope-cool! Hard to do!

Telescope from 1886 still works

Exploring AZ every day but Sunday when I visit with my new granddaughter which delights me so much. Am also enjoying new friendships with Elizabeth and her daughter Liberty, and Wendy. But, I’ve been missing soaking in hot springs. Yesterday another miracle for me as I was drawn to purchase my pass for the San Carlos Apache Tribe Wildlife and Recreation area-and they have a warm springs! Who knew? It wasn’t in the book at library of all AZ hot/warm springs! I had gone to old Scottsdale to rock shop and browse then ending up at their awesome library! A live gray fox greeted me as I drove into San Carlos and we locked eyes in respect for one another. Yesterday spent most of the day in the all natural warm springs whilst inspecting the rocks in the spring’s bottom-what a treat-thanks be! On Tuesday, met Wendy for coffee and chat which ended up being 4+ hours of laughter and sharing-bless you Wendy. I also stopped at Buckhorn Baths which is now owned by a Family Trust and not operational. Last week, explored Sedona, going to 4 energy vortices at Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, Airport Mesa, and spending one overnight in Natl Forest section of Boynton Canyon. I am energized! Also, did primitive camping on Bureau of Land Management lands in Mayer with Elizabeth and Liberty. A grand time, indeed. I also rock picked on Salt Mine Rd and at Clear Creek Day Use Area and camped at Valley Verde Thousand Trails Park. For a $500 annual membership fee, one can stay for free one week, leave a week, then repeat the process at numerous parks. I think it’s like a time share for RVers/tent campers with great amenities of pools, hot tubs, Wi-Fi, tennis, etc. Found a scenic view in Red Rocks State Park which provided shade for me and appreciated the view before me, snapping pictures, too.

The first week of April, went to Alamo Lake State Park and got more exposure to Burros with their mating sounds. Then to Dead Horse Ranch State Park that miraculously had one tent campsite available for me! The lagoons at Dead Horse are cool; one fellow was happy to have caught 3 fish, the first of his in a long time. Walked with Elizabeth to the top of mountain in Mayer that has an energy vortex, and some snacks afterwards at Creekside Lodge. Life is grand!

P. S. I do want to experience the Northern Lights! Tried in AK, but not! Native Indian in AK told me you can move your hand in the air and see the reaction in the Northern Lights! It’s on my list!
