An Unexpected Treat
Walking through the town of Springdale (just outside the gates of Zion National Park) we wandered into a gallery featuring really beautiful photographs of Zion and other National Parks. The photos were inspiring, but tucked back in a corner of the gallery was the treat that really grabbed me. Sitting on a shelf were several exquisitively crafted Native American flutes. One in particular drew me to it - burl wood with turquoise inlays. It was so light I thought it might just float out of my hands. And when I began to play it the song just flowed forth, almost of its own volition - deep, rich tone and a wonderfully delicate touch. Veronica said it was the best she has ever heard me play. The $700 price tag was pretty much the only thing that kept me from walking out of the store with it. And what an unexpected thrill it was just to be able to play such an amazing instrument. I wasn’t looking for this experience, but fortunately I was open to it when it found me. There is wonder and beauty and abundance all around us. Who knows what will find its way into my life next!
Blessings,
