A Moment With Nature


Take a walk with nature.

Breath in and breath out, slowly and deeply.
Take one step at a time, left and right.
Look around you, and don’t rush.

Notice something different?
Perhaps it is the silence, that stillness,
That unwavering promise of the absence of sound.
Can you hear this silence?

Look at the trees.
Do you see that life, that undeniable life,
Reverberating behind the facade of winter’s rest?

Do you feel the pulse of the wind,
As it whispers secrets to the trees?
It tantalizes your senses,
And a gentle smile flickers across your mask.

Remember this moment.
