Openings ... Possibilities

We discovered a Holy Place on earth.

Winding out of Tulsa one morning and heading north on the road to Pawhuska in Osage Nation — that’s where the map took us.  We stopped frequently to poke around old ruins and soak up the scenery of this magic land.

One side road led to this old stone ruin.  A church or a school, perhaps.  Doors opening into spaces invaded by the prairie grasses and flowers.  Windows open to wind and rain.  Roof open to the sky.  All open to possibilities.

A perfect archway for photos.
Seed pods in my pocket.
Hungry horses across the fence.

And it was only the first step on our journey to the TallGrass Prairie.  Why didn’t we hurry on?

Because we did not know what awaited!
