Have We Stopped Thinking for Ourselves?

The small Colorado town I reside in is getting busy, quickly! We are a tourism based economy, where we rely on visitors to survive and thrive.

Layers

  Muti-Layered Multi-colored Textured Not perfectly smooth So much life but All One Intense & Immense Overtaking Beauty Just like YOU You are nature, you are a reflection of what you see here. To think otherwise causes great separation from oneSelf and from our natural source. Get to know the rhythm of the universe, the beat of the earth. Tell me, did you find yourself there?
