I'm so grateful for living with the forest, lake and mountain right outside my doorstep!
"HIKING" by Ed Matlack
The overwhelming power of Nature looses the soul from the concrete bastian
Replacing glass-perforated walls with giants of green and bark
Underfoot the cement and asphalt turns into sweet-smelling earth and leaf-rot
A racing stream instead of speeding traffic lends muffled background
Snow mantled boughs exchanged for bleak hard stone--moss for rust
Little known or appreciated solace is found in this haven a few minutes from the core
Lifes dreaded and hum-drum buzz-saw of existence is belittled by a sequence of wonders
Never repeating itself, Nature provides an unending panorama of fool-proof structures
All weather buffeted, the young and old alike bear up under seasonal changes
A quality of serenity little broken by storms - even then, only an adjustment
For the betterment of mankind, a close look at this phenomena would provide an arch of comfort
Beneath tired feet lies the soothing balm of peace...

Ja du har mye å være grateful over, særlig evnen til å være takknemlig! Ha en fortsatt nydelig helg!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to live so close to nature, and so wise to always seem to enjoy it:)
ReplyDeleteGreat that Spring is now arriving for you. The days are warm and sunny here now, but I guess you're a little way off that still - but you're right, so wonderful to be blessed with so much countryside around you.
