The majestic sense of a hidden place lies in its elusiveness where secrets and dreams are allowed to intertwine. ~ by poet On morning stroll, I sought a bit of shade and wandered into an evergreen glade. A hidden place and the perfect setting where nothing would ever set me fretting. I felt sheltered, content and unafraid. A sanctuary off the well-worn trail where my calm repose had quickly set sail. My senses unfurled on a gentle breeze~ tendrils of my hair, it began to tease. Idyllic the realm in this forest vale.

Dear Lin, There’s such a softness in your lines that feels to me like a refuge. It's as if the forest itself reaches out and welcomes me, brushing away thought, making space for a calm. Your words are where the spirit idyllic becomes something true and touchable, not a mere fantasy but a real, perhaps a breathing moment. I feel calmer now after posting my poem on anger. LOL! Summer Blessings, My Dear Lin, Daniel

Daniel, if you felt my mood when writing this one I have accomplished my goal of creating serenity in an idyllic setting. Sometimes, painting it with a brush is easier ;-). Thank you very much.

I'm not sure of an actual addy, Paula, but it's about 100 steps south of the ancient oak and then straight ahead until you find yourself in the middle of paradise. ;-) Thanks!
