When I am troubled I walk in nature, and soon my troubles are far, far away; I start to notice the bird songs in the trees, and beautiful nature all around me. And I am kissed by a passing breeze ! When I am full of tears I seek nature, though grief is like a stone holding me down; the trees wrap me in silent peace, and a stream babbles a melody for my soul. And the passing breeze is an awaking ! When I am hurt and broken by this life, a walk in nature helps me to let go; I stop to pick a wildflower bouquet, like I used to for my sweet mother once. And I am kissed by a passing breeze ! When I am unloved, lonely and sad, I remember that God is my best friend; and he created nature for me and you, so, on my walk he comes to me as a sigh. And the passing breeze is an awaking !

somehow we all seek comfort in the arms of a "mother" oftentimes it is "Mother Nature" who soothes us with a passing breeze.

Beautiful picture and poem , enjoying the beauty God has created that many miss by being consumed of worldly things, blessed are the eyes that see God's majestic power surrounding and embracing, comforting with the breezes
