“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.” ~ John Muir The gently rippling surface of a lake plays with the reflections of clouds and trees and comes on to the shore to softly break, urged on by the afternoon summer breeze. Clean country air carries the smell of pine, and sounds of hidden creatures in the wood. Mother Nature's harmonious design witnessed by me and a jay with a hood. Knowing I'm in a place where I belong, where the lake is refreshed by a cool brook, and twittering birds improvise a song, in my secluded grassy mountain nook. , I wish that you, too, could be here with me, to experience sweet tranquility.
