A Moment

A Moment

•

a forest clearing

soft filtered sunlight

high breezes whisper
as nature echoes

downed douglas slumbers
snug in a moss blanket
a moist embrace

heady pleasance abounds

life aligned
for a moment

I know where to come for some Rest & Relaxation now when life gets hectic – it’s so peaceful here – I loved ‘A Moment.’

There is great sensuality in the natural world, if we stop to observe it…

Yes, just a moment — from time to time! How much more in tune we could all be with the world and the peoples around us — the incredible natural gifts we’ve been given, and how precious and amazing they really are…

So many people are looking for a paradise somewhere else, when we live in a paradise right now — if we would simply wake up to it. We’ve been blessed with an abundance of natural wonders, beauty, and personally sustaining elements — all that this world, and we who live on it, would ever need to thrive.

So many of us, however, sleep-walk right through this world, unable to see, blinded by things like greed, ego, prejudice — and thus, abuse and lay waste to our wonderful world, owing to their lack of true vision. We have fallen out of the natural balance. It is sad.

Thank you… glad you liked this simple piece.

Yes, one with nature! As I wrote above to Jen — modern man has lost that oneness, and we and our world are suffering as a result.

We have created such an impenetrable cocoon of creature comforts and technologies to surround us — too many are completely losing touch with the natural world. It’s an extremely dangerous situation, this desensitized imbalance.

I am pleased this piece put you in touch with our natural world… that was my hope.

We all need to be much more aware and in touch — especially at this very precarious moment in the history of the world.
