Sometimes in life you have to absorb the trees.
The nature that abounds.
The music that feeds the soul.

You have to relax to the flows of the river
that washes away the darkness
To the beauty of the sunsets that surround

Life is funny that way.
The things that you take for granted
are the things that feed the soul and fill the spirit.

Sometimes, taking the time to sit... alone....
in the solitude of nature, refines the spirit
and gives strength to the part of you that has been ignored.

I take lessons from the spirit of nature.
What really is, what really matters.
The here and now.

No political overtones. No 'what's in it for me'. Just, 'what is'.
The nature of life.
The nature of who we are, is the nature of 'what is'.

We are who we are when no ones looking, or judging.
We are people. Living day by day, moment by moment across the world.
Trying to do what is best for those we love.

Love and nature is our common thread. Connecting us as one.
Across our nation... across our world. We 'are'...

And if we move away from the noise, the anger, the hate,
spewed at us from all directions.
We will find we all have one thing in common across the globe.

We all love.
We care about about our families,
we just want a peaceful existence.

And if we follow the lessons of the trees, the river,....and nature...
and absorb their energy's.
We will find the peace, we need to thrive.
