Meditation Hikes at Lily Lake

All interested persons are invited to gather on Mondays at 5:00pm for Meditation Hikes this summer at the Lily Lake parking lot which is about 6 miles south of Estes Park on Hwy 7. This seems to be an easily reached hike within the RMNP boundaries yet not requiring an entry pass. The one-mile trail is level and handicapped-accessible; there are several stopping places with benches to rest your legs. A leader will read a meditation, poem, or scripture as the group stops to enjoy the view and the quiet time. It generally takes an hour or less to complete the Hike. Weather permitting, we will meet each Monday.

Opening Prayer

In the morning light, O God,
may I glimpse again your image deep within me
the threads of eternal glory
woven into the fabric of every man and women.
Again may I catch sight of the mystery of the human soul fashioned in your likeness
deeper than knowing
more enduring than time.
And in glimpsing these threads of light
amidst the weakness and distortions of my life
let me be recalled to the strength and beauty deep in my soul.
Let me be recalled
to the strength and beauty of your image in every living soul.

John Philip Newell, twenty-first century poet & writer
