G-d is Good! G-d is Good!
הודו לה קראו בשמו הודיעו בעמים עלילותיו שירו לו זמרו לו שיחו בכל נפלאותיו
זכרו נפלאותיו אשר עשה מפתיו ומשפטי פיהו
It was 5:00 am. And I hear a pleasant voice... “Hi, good morning it’s time to wake up.. The gym is opening soon and we should be moving. “ I peeked outside to see my neighbor ‘next door’.
“Good morning”, I greeted him.
“Good morning”, he replied. “How did you find this place? This is the best place in town! It’s my secret place. No one knows about it. How do you know about it?”
I said, “I don’t know --G-d just brought me here.
I had just arrived last night to Boulder from Brooklyn. Too tired to hike around and scout for a place to pitch my tent.. I prayed to Hashem to take care of me. I walked a few blocks and came across this pleasant space, which is near some greenery, water source and has protection from rain. I saw your tent. I usually like my privacy and wouldn’t pitch my tent near other tents… but this time I felt it was ok.”
G-d is good! G-d is good! D. starts chanting..
It was more than ok. I ended up meeting the sweetest person, a great friend, fun energetic activity partner who showed me around all the ins and outs of the town.. including secret gems, a great conversationalist, and an exciting inspirational life teacher!
G-d is Good! Indeed He is! Thank You Hashem!
And Thank You D.
I packed up and then we walked to the nearby park to chat ... It was still early and still needed more sleep so I put up my tent to catch a power nap before the new day begins. Around 9:00 am I woke up again and we walked around town, We passed boulder creek. I enjoyed sitting around the creek. I dipped my feet and refreshed myself. We then continued to Red Rock trail. It was a special day.. Tu B’Av – the equinox of the year (the world transfers from male energy to female energy) and somehow I remember we had very deep conversation on spirituality, Judaism and G-d. I don’t remember what it was.. but remember it was very powerful! The messages I relayed weren’t my words – I was saying what I needed to hear. .. and Thank G-d I was able to sing them too! It was really nice. I hiked some more and decided to make my home there for now.
some more posts to be expanded sometime..

פוקח עורים - just as I was crossing the stream my paper bag from whole foods tore.. and all my stuff started flowing in the river.. I started swimming and chasing after my stuff.. bh I was able to retrieve everything.. set up camp on the other side of the stream and layed everything out to dry.. my camera wasn't working at first.. but I got an awakening of appreciation for my eyes and my body wow the human eye is so much more sophisticated and even though I fell into the stream too bh my body had no water damage.. and then my camera started working again.
After scouting quite a while, I thought I had finally found my camping spot in Boulder. Hiking to it - to my home -- at night was magical! But this spot wasn't for too long. I woke up to a magnificent - out of this world sunrise.. later went back into my tent to nap some more but was woken up by a Park Ranger was gave me a fine and I had to move on...
