Paul Bunyan and the Trees of Mystery, Klamath, California

Between our first night in Eureka, California and Gold Beach, Oregon, we had hoped to stop and ride the gondola through the Trees of Mystery in Klamath, California. We did stop but we didn’t stay. We had lollygagged enough that day. It was going to be about $30 for us to have to hike through the park on a tour, then ride the gondola back. We estimated it would be at least an hour stop. So, we checked out the large statue of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Big Blue Ox, listened to the invisible man in the Paul Bunyan statue call over his loud speaker, welcoming guests and talking directly to them – it was really funny! So, we took some pictures, utilized their clean restroom and hit the road.

Tarot Contemplation – Four of Swords

If you’re in the United States, the holiday weekend is upon us … and for everyone else, it’s definitely as time to take a break and rest up from all of the changes that we’ve been hit with since the Solstice full moon.  Don’t hesitate to draw boundaries for yourself, or to say “no”.  Rest could also take the form of needing to withdraw and be alone, as well as healing from an illness.  So, as much as you need space, also give people their space.  Being pushy is just asking for trouble.  If you’re able to take off work and give yourself a long weekend, then do it.  A break will provide you with much-needed perspective.  As much as you’ve connected with your partner in the past few days, today you feel a little distant.  It’s okay if you both need a little time apart … that’s part of growing together.  Step back and look at your finances.  If you need to play catch-up, think of ways to make extra money.  Spark Law of Attraction energies by making a small donation to a favored charity or cause, or just pay it forward to a person in need.  Not only does a good deed spark good Karma, it also makes you feel good for a few hours and makes you appreciate the resources you do have in your life.  Yes, count your blessings as you slow down and take it easy.  The quiet time you allow yourself today will allow you to get back in touch with your Spirit and the Universal energies around you.  Solitude heals, so take it:  your Spirit needs the space.
