Garden of the Gods

I walk the damp,dark path of oblivion. Not a sound in this forest interrupts me and my thoughts. Not a sight can take my mind from where I will it to go.Then there is light. This dark forest path opens to sheer cliffs,light, and happiness.The birds chirp their song of joy as they fly above me. A gentle breeze wraps me in its cool embrace. Here Im a book flying open. Here I am whole. As I continue my journey of life,I enter a bright jungle. Sunlight dapples everything. The sounds of crickets and tranquility fill the air. And still I continue my journey of life. Through the hard and happy times, this life is truly like the Garden of the Gods.

Yes indeed my friend. The secret to happiness is in being able to accept life as it comes. To change what you can change and to accept what must be. Good Stuff. God Bless, JB
