I woke up this morning smiling. You do that to me in so many ways. The memory of your tender touch when the sun strokes my cheek. The lingering kiss on my lips as the wind dances through the leaves. I feel you nearby each time the window is opened, filling me with your scent. You always welcome me with open arms each time we meet. You never disappoint me. You are the gift I cherish each day, thankful you are in my life. You penetrate my soul, you make me whole. Our connection is one people don’t understand.
All my life, I have been gifted with a love for and a connection with nature. It is my go-to place for everything in my life from solitude to inspiration.
I could write volumes about the importance of nature to me, The feelings I have for the need to be out on the land has a lot of descriptive words that explode through my brain. Possibly the best way for me to express this want is…It’s a big part of who I am, and who I aspire to be. It makes my heart soar and the same time grounds me, reminding me of who I am and where I am from while guiding me to where I am going.
I have said it before, and I suspect I will say it again, “I have sympathy for those who do not ‘get’ the way nature has so much to gift you if you only let it.”
