Blue Ridge Mountains

Sometimes I am in doubt
about why I am here

Here amongst these mountains
certainly not just anywhere

The path seemed to just effortlessly 
want to open itself to me

The draw was powerfully magnetic
So I surrendered and let go 
of the part that was hectic

Often now as I drive over a hill
and I look into a luscious green dale
my feelings of joy give me little chills

My eyes water and my breath is taken away
by the beauty I am surrounded by
every single day.

You truly are in your element. And just as you really appreciate where you are. Where you are really appreciates that you are there. You are not a taker you are a from the heart giver and I am so so proud of you. And so happy to be a part of your world and life.
