Prehike Moment

My husband and I recently had the opportunity to hike in Southern Indiana with my brother and his wife on the Knobcreek Trail. It was a wonderful backpacking experience through a very quiet forested area of Indiana. My back full, I decided not to carry my camera with me, but the night before our journey I shot these as the last bit of sunlight spotlighted the lake next to our tent.

As I look at these now I see a theme.... perhaps a kind of  "heads up". This was a remarkable unforgettable trip for me and part of the reason for that was discovering that I had lost my car keys 7 miles into our hike. While initially I was anxious and somewhat panicked about the hassle that would create for everyone, as the day went on I was able to let go of it. I took an "everything will be alright" attitude. I held onto this feeling so securely that as we drove from the end of the trail back to where my car sat at the trail head I felt an enormous sense of relief. I left myself feel huge gratitude for finding the keys. When we returned to my unlocked car to find, my purse, my brother's and sister in law's wallets and ipads still there the relief I felt went deeper. And when my husband looked down at the back bumper of my car and discovered that someone had found and returned the keys I was elated. It felt like magic.

Recently I've read about the cause and effect relationship and the magic of the fact that the opposite  is also true. Maybe it really is true that sometimes, the effect can create the cause. I believe it :)

Curious?? Read the article I read here: http://consciouslifenews.com/law-magic-effect-base/1169605/
