I also find nature very peaceful. I did 'nature' this weekend by weeding and planting, making something out of nothing. Nature is such a reminder of the seasons of life. My time with the A was one I did not get nutured. Now I can do so much to nuture myself.
nice post- I, too, have this feeling often- I dare call it serenity? I wake up and head out and really LOOK at the sky, the weather, the beautiful countryside around me- really stay in that moment and LOOK and ABSORB this incredible beauty! ABSORB the beauty and nurturing all around us 24/7 in every single moment placed here by god. Last night I was outside getting some stuff out of my car in the dusk and it was so incredible. The sliver of moon, the fireflies, the evening fog gathering in the fields, the sounds of the insects and frogs, that feeling of a summer night in the midwest- it was simply incredible. I almost stood there and cried, it was so great and it was all there, all along. Its always all there all along, if we could just pause in our insanity and wake up and notice. This morning I was watching the hundreds of bees in the rose bushes- watching them so closely work, work, work- it was so fragrant, beautiful and awesome.
