“PRAYER IS NOT ASKING. IT IS A LONGING OF THE SOUL. IT IS DAILY ADMISSION OF ONE’S WEAKNESS. IT IS BETTER IN PRAYER TO HAVE A HEART WITHOUT WORDS THAN WORDS WITHOUT A HEART.” -GANDHI
Meet the Big Sky Kids. The souls that leave an imprint on my heart every coming summer. The faces that you could not for a second mistake or ever forget. The smiles that light your world, and the tears that pull at the core of your heart strings.
They reshape my life every summer, and this year was no different–even more so now as I’ve had time to decompress, reflect and absorb all that took place in June. It’s selfish, but I take away more from this camp than I feel like I could ever give back to it. I grow in compassion, patience, humility, peace, understanding and most importantly, love.
Relating to the Gandhi quote, it’s hard to put into words the essence of camp to someone not having experienced it. However, there’s so much heart and soul that is poured into these Big Sky Kids every year–it’s overflowing.
I’ll let a handful of images convey some of the beauty that unfolds here in Montana.
There’s a tree in Montana that is growing for me.
For you.
For all of us.
