We stopped for a while and ate our lunches while looking at this view from the parking lot for the closed Mt. Mitchell restaurant. We had brought our lawn chairs also, so it was very comfortable sitting in front of the car. A few other people parked and ate their lunches in their cars while we were there!
Mt. Mitchell is in a North Carolina State Park, right off the Blue Ridge Parkway.
We were fortunate to have nobody behind us while driving by this view, so Helen backed up so I could get this shot of Burnett Reservoir and Swannanoa
Today's quote:
Do you think that you can clear your mind by sitting constantly in silent meditation? This makes your mind narrow, not clear.
Integral awareness is fluid and adaptable, present in all places and at all times.
That is true meditation… The Tao is clear and simple, and it doesn’t avoid the world.
—Laozi
