A Pause In Nature
I love the Fall season, when Mother Nature takes a deep
breath, a pause, and calls, "Break Time!" Then she gathers up all of the stresses of
the rest of the year and lets them all go in one glorious coloured exhalation.
Those stresses may have been in the form of uplifting
growth experiences, or the weighty regrets of our individual unique gifts that have
been left un-added to life's beauty; Add
in the fears created by world events and it's no wonder that our posture becomes
less than erect and our gait slower .
Then along comes Nature with her reminder to be patient with ourselves, that the year is maturing, and so are we, as day
by day we release our own amazing colours into the world, both in our speech
and in our actions.
In this season of
thanksgiving, as Autumn colours swirl
around us, Let's take her lead, and exhale - just let it all go; A humble, quiet walk can be just what the
doctor ordered:
A Humble Walk, A Silent Talk
I contemplated
God's beauty
As I walked in the
woods;
I breathed in His
peace,
And it did my
heart good.
In this green
sanctuary,
In soft, quiet
mood,
I lowered my head,
And it did my
heart good.
How many have
passed here,
And paused where I
stood?
I greeted their
presence,
And it did my
heart good.
My spirit watched
humbly
As leaves gently
fell,
And covered my
footsteps
'Till no one could
tell
That one Fall
afternoon
I had come to
these woods,
I had partaken
peace;
It had done my
heart good.
