Spirit Mountain
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

I climb a spirit mountain
When I’m pensive and reflective,
To ponder my place in the world
And gain a new perspective.

Atop the shimmering summit
I breathe the atmosphere so rare,
And soak up radiant sunshine
As I say a little prayer.

I ask God for His guidance
And the courage to carry on,
And for joy to fill my spirit
As I greet each gift of dawn.

Linda,
I found my Spirit Mountain -- and you described it so beautifully.

Thank you.

I wondered who it was I sensed up there

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Yes, Dear Dixie! I totally concur! I literally searched over 100 paintings and photos to find my spirit mountain. The artist is blessed with a divine gift!

You too greet the dawn with prayer song,you have in truth chosen the right name you have the face of the Winged ones and the spirit to match.You remind me of my own misty mountian home of my heritage!
many blessings
