That's Moldavite. 

Go figure.

CLEANSING MOLDAVITE: PHASE THREE

 

Good vibrations.

TUPELO GRILLE

 

Decidedly, the best restaurant in town.

Serves the finest filet of bison I ever ate.

The Plains Native Americans nomadically followed buffalo herds, their primary source of sustenance, not just for meat but also for hides (clothing) and bones (utensils).

They said a prayer, before mealtime, to the animals whose lives were sacrificed for providing the nourishment that enabled them to perpetuate the cycle of life.

Bookworks of Whitefish

You just gotta get your book out there and read and hopefully cultivate word-of-mouth (the best marketing of all).

CLEANSING MOLDAVITE: PHASE TWO

 

Nature walk/forest bathe.

Rinse with the purest water.

GLACIER: FOREST BATHING

 

The latest trend, originating in Japan, is shinrin-yoku (the "new-yoga), which translates to forest bathing, that is, spending time among numerous trees for inhaling phytoncides, a natural aromatherapy that heals body and soul.

THE ROAD TO GLACIER NATIONAL PARK (REDUX)

 

Little wonder Montana's motto is "Unspoiled, Unforgettable."

Magnificent scenery has a sanitive effect on the human soul.

GOD'S TEN COMMANDMENT PARK

 

Everyone driving to the entrance of Glacier National Park (West) is a captive audience to artist installations.

Fire and Ice.

Moldavite derives from a meteorite that crashed onto our planet (in an area that is now the Czech Republic) 14.8 million years ago.

RY GUY HITS THE SLOPES

 

FOUND @ TREASURE MOUNTAIN ROCK SHOP

Perhaps why I was summoned here, to The Treasure State.
