I stand alone in natures beauty, in the woods by a trickling stream. I feel the presence of my destiny, as a repetitive eternal dream. I hear the gurgling of water, as it follows its chosen way, No worries of tomorrow, as it just flows towards the bay. My mind says, relax you’re never alone, the beauty of nature is all around. A fallen oak tree seems to beckon me, I acknowledge it and gently sit down. I close my eyes and calm my thoughts, a calming quietness welcomes me. I slow my breath, open my heart, and let myself to just be. I feel the oneness of all creation, and the presence of love that oneness brings. Then my thoughts wondered why it took so long, to sincerely seek deep spiritual things. . The message I received, without a word, from a presence calming and maternal. When you acknowledge your spiritual self, you’ll be aware that life is eternal.
