Lake Tahoe, California’s Gift — by Angel Ghashikta
Immeasurable Majesty!
What are the depths of your waters?
What are the heights of your mountains?
What is it like to communicate so clearly with heaven and earth?
May I learn from your true beauty, Lake Tahoe.
‘Great Nature’ is appropriate.
You are breathtaking in your expression.
Thank you for embracing me.
Thank you for changing me.
I am better now; able to hold more understanding.
Able to contain and emote more love.
You expanded my heart and soul forever.
I will never forget you.
I just read the overview of Lake Tahoe Pangu Shengong Retreat in November 2015. It was perfectly written. I feel deep heartfelt appreciation to have been able to attend. It was life-altering.
Inspired by Master Ou’s lectures and fervor for the importance of expressing our appreciation for Great Nature, I wrote a poem about Lake Tahoe as we were driving away.
