My lover and I are crossing America again, south to north following the Forever Mississippi currently in Hannibal MO. We haven’t trekked the country in several years. Nothing has changed; mostly beautiful, empty, natural, spaces filled with growing abundance. America the Beautiful is such an apt description. Now however instead of hiking the land to see, we bask in the glow of our devices to pseudo see; their white light growing discord instead of abundance; eyes burned blind that cannot see. I am a very simple person, my needs mostly met every day with God, His Most Ancient Living Word, a cup of good coffee, my lover always near, and a long view. America has always offered me that but required me to go. Go far in America, long quiet roads through a mostly isolated wilderness that seem to go on and on, and still, I am in America. The wealth is overwhelming, growing, towering, flowing, it is always unimaginable, even in your memory, unless you witness it again and again. The song God Bless America is better understood God Blessed America but you must go see to understand. When He made this expanse of earth, He was having a Red-Letter Day.
