Find Places For Meditation

Find places for meditation, a strawberry path leading to mysterious backwoods; hear the woodpeckers drill through bark... how frightening they are at dusk! Meet the jolly woodscutter gathering the fallen trunks of cherry oak for a winter's fire... or for furniture like coffee tables and desks; have you ever seen his fine workmanship? Find places for meditation on a breezy shore in early evening, marvel at the spectable so radiant and soothing, quenching your spirit as woodwinds start a quadrille! No witless clown is allowed to spoil the fun of beachgoers, humor pravails and draws crowds to the boardwalk; catch the glow of wonder on every kid's face... as those clowns amuse them and deliriously laugh! Find places for meditation, in the quitest cathedral or chapel to revive your entity, and prayers murmured by the soft-glowing candles renew your belief and trust in the Almighty... in such a holy place, angels are found by the thousands! Extreme peace overhelms your thoughts of victorious love exulting in the vespers' hymns played by the loud organ above the incense-burning altar of glacial marble; humbly pray and flee incertitude and damnation... the incantation is being broken and incapacitated by your will! Find places for meditation by a calm river feeding its waters to the distant sea, making your vessel of hope reach it's destination; someone will wait to board it and start a stupendous dream; and dream you must to end your string of defeats!

Excellent topic that you have chosen to write about in this one..That is what it is about that time alone in quiet...Without that we are lost for we cannot relate to ourselves...Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara

It's really important to find places where we can think clearly, Andrew. Being one with nature usually does it for me. And in chuch, I feel closer to God so there is a sense of calm and love. Beautiful words, my friend. Love, Carolyn
