HERE ARE MANY DRAWS TO LIVING IN OR VISITING
MONTANA. As our front cover tagline suggests, you can find
adventure, inspiration, and spirit in the sweeping landscapes,
in the big, leafy hugs of pine and aspen, in the very real waves of grass,
in the marvelous wildlife, and in clear waters that run, fall and lie still,
all indifferent to the hand of man.
And yet we do capture small pieces of nature when we stop to
notice, when we park our modernity and dare to trespass, slipping
from the digital world, morphing into the scenery, understanding the
natural world in forgotten ways. Immersion is the word that comes
to mind, and when one "immerses" oneself in nature, surrenders to
the many wonders which do not require the trappings of silicon or
distractions of bandwidth, a transformation takes place.
Let's call it peace.
So, this summer, as you enjoy Montana, take time to experience
part of it alone, just you, with the sights, smells and sounds of nature;
and you may well find something that causes your heart to race, your
breath to quicken, your consciousness to grasp a bit of the mystic.
And you might just find yourself.
