Saturday Genevieve and I journeyed to Pyramid Lake for a sunrise meditation and yoga. We went to the Indians sacred site. The story is that Mother had two sons. One left and traveled north, the other left and traveled south. Mother sat down with her basket and cried. Her tears filled the lake. She was turned to stone at the site. Genevieve climbed into her basket.
To be here with over twenty people, meditating and doing yoga was an incredible experience. I find when I do things like this that I have a heightened sense of the world afterwards.
When we left, I wanted to stop and get a picture of the entire beach. Genevieve sat in the car while I stepped out and took the picture. When I turned to get back in the car I spotted this guy.
As I entered the car, Genevieve had this weird look on her face. As a young child (10-11) she watched the movie Tremor. If you haven't seen it, it is about these creatures that live under the desert floor. They are attracted to vibrations and devour what ever moves.
When I bent down to take the picture of the lady bug, Genevieve turned to look for me and I was gone. The little child in her immediately flashed back to the terror of watching this movie... Amazing how the mind works.
I hope you can find the time to enjoy the sacred sites near you. They are as close as your own backyard.

What a beautiful spot. And you are so right, the beauty is all around us, we just have to keep our eyes open. On that note, I am heading out to prune the roses and commune with my own little scared spot. luvyasu.
