Recently I learned that there is a free privately owned camp site along the bike trail near here. One man has been camping there every summer for 7 years with one mission and one benefit. He welcomes campers and make sure the sites are clean of trash so it can stay free and open to the public for camping. There is no other motive. There is no financial benefit to the land owner. This one man ensures that it remains an open and welcoming space. He doesn't do it for financial benefit to himself so why does he do it?
Sometimes we believe in something bigger than ourselves. We all need to believe in something bigger than ourselves!
Our system of doing things for monetary gain is a human created system. It is wrong. To survive in this world we must adapt but it is spiritually wrong. Spiritually, we need to learn our gift and our passion and follow it. Nothing is spiritually small when it is our gift and our passion. Together we can! It may not put wealth in our coffers this day. But we are planting seeds of inspiration. I know - spiritually - that the work of this one man - for seven years - is valuable in ways I cannot measure by dollars. Bless him! And Bless the land owner who shares his insight! May this space - this place - provide more inspiration and blessing to all who learn of this story or find their way to this special place.
