Sometimes Nature Joins Life's Celebration

Sometimes Nature Joins Life's Celebration Sometimes Nature joins life's celebration giving generously beautiful scenes; relief from man's saddest tribulations, such rewards are worthy by any means. Where morning sun glistens on dewy grass glowing blue sky graces the live long day; rests valley meadow in a mountain pass where Nature dances forth in its own way. When man finds this epic, beautiful view, his first thought is this jewel to then own; such lusting reveals his brain is askew, and his head is as a dead and dry bone! Nature is not ours to greedily tame. For we as mortals, are one and the same! Robert J.

A memory so awesome that its not been lost, a view vividly burned into my mind. Finished it, then I checked for the hundred one word count and found it was dead on! My intuitive brain must have been counting all along. Writing about Nature is a healing action for me, my day has brightened already.
