I have some special views to share with you.
A quick short walk, as we had rain on the way.
Nature will always be with us, and I have had countless walks in it over time. Eventually one learns that nature is a live and breathing body in total sync with itself, and that it is fully self-contained. An entity designed to give life to the planet and its residents. So sad then that the human residents on the planet are trying to destroy nature, and we are doing very well at it, considering the latest destructive weather patterns across the globe.
But I digress, and so come and walk with me.
3 shots (including the first) to show you some lovely weather patterns.
And then as we rounded a corner below the trees, this little squirrel also knew that rain was coming. The animals know to fill their stomachs before it rains, as then they will be strong enough to endure the wet and the cold.
By now, I think you can see that I love to catch the sun shining through the treetops, as it looks like nature is showing me all of the elements that combine to show us the beauty and essential things of this life. One cannot live without the other, and neither can we.
The time finally arrived for us to go back home.
It is so important that we try to learn from the good we see around us, and nature has tons of lessons to show us. If one destroys one element of nature, the other parts are affected, and balance is removed. Deficiencies occur, and nature becomes sick. If elements that shouldn't be there are introduced, the balance swings the other way and nature goes from sick to dying. It is not enough to just tick over with breath. It is so essential for nature to thrive. The same with us. Do we just wait for time to pass, anticipating the next good or bad swing around each corner? Do we bide the hours without truly living? And what is truly living? Do we just wait for the seasons to tick by, hoping that the next one will be better? Nothing happens in isolation or on its own. May we learn to see the bigger picture of life and eternity and what that means. May we go from just breathing and surviving, to living and thriving.
I hope you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.
