“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.”
John Muir originally said these words, but they come to life for me in Jim Jordan who passed away this week. Jim was one of those people who just had a genuine love of nature. He loved the trees, he loved the flowers and he loved the birds. Most especially, he loved Blue Lake. Living to age 99, there is no doubt in my mind that in addition to his respect and appreciation of nature, his gentle kindness and love of the Lord were the key to Jim’s rich life. This is how I will remember him.
Jim’s body may be gone but his soul is alive in every creature, every tree, every lupine, and every Forget-me-not around Blue Lake. Rest in peace, my friend, I will miss you!
