Learning...

Meditating outside my new home I am learning everyday…

The verdant mountains teach me the life that can come from within, there is a fire in the earth that feeds this lands growth and mine. Jutting rocks from the peak show me the staying power of nature, our mother earth. Pine trees grow out of the rocks and I learn that we can grow in the harshest of conditions. I hear the river in the distance a reminder of the ebb and flow of life. Water, the life giving force. Fallen trees remind me that life on this planet is not forever I will someday decay.

But for this moment I am here in the gloriousness of nature, her beauty and knowledge cocoon me and when I break out of my cocoon I will have the wings to fly.

Fantastic! I really like this piece Betty! It natural fits in with my own perspective on nature and I love the way you show how nature can relate some simple truths. Great job!
