Gratitude (celebration in the Black Mountains)

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. -- Thornton Wilder
This video is in gratitude for the magic of my Beltane walk in the Black Mountains of NC, USA.

@saintsimonak Ah, I think I tend to recognize them when I am far away (in body or mind, eg meditation) because I am less distracted. On occasion I realize they are with me in the middle of the 'distraction'. Enjoy your walks, blessings, CG
