Blossoms on High Street in West Chester, Pennsylvania. (April 2007)
In my dreams, I never have an age.
~ Madeleine L’Engle
Last night (well, really it was early this morning) I had a dream that was filled with flowers. Someone was teaching me to identify wildflowers by their leaves, their blossoms, and their stems. Wouldn’t it be nice to learn through dreaming and wake up with a head full of knowledge you didn’t have when you went to sleep?

South Harbor sunset. Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. (7 June 2012)
In the last edition of Thursday Travels, M and I had just arrived at the cabin we rented on South Harbor, not far from the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia. We got there just in time for sunset although we didn’t see the sun itself. Just a band of light on the horizon.

South Harbor. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. 7 June 2012.
Twilight — a time of pause when nature changes her guard. All living things would fade and die from too much light or too much dark, if twilight were not.

Maybe it’s just me, but… doesn’t this make you wonder what kind of youth they were hunting?

The Cabot Trail (7 June 2012)
Last week we left off on the Cabot Trail, probably not far from MacKenzie Mountain, trying to get to the cabin before dark. We needn’t have worried. We were far enough north and close enough to the Summer Solstice that daylight lasted a good long while.
How’s it going?

It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.

Yesterday’s sunset
My Yogi Tea tag wisdom for the day is:
Wherever you go, go with all of your heart.
I would add to that:
And listen to your body.
