Joy in Nature

A Year Of Joy #11 – Joy in Nature

There is a joy in the rhythm and harmony of Nature.

The unfolding unity as seasons change.

The color and variety of natural phenomenon.

The interweaving relationship of surroundings to life forms.

Little and big, giant and miniscule all fit together.

Fast and slow, visible and invisible interact in harmony.

Mobile and stationary, above and below the ground have a unique and fulfilling place.

The place they fulfill creates complete harmony.

Breathing in the freshness of Nature is a delight.

Our bodies thrill with the delicacy of scents in grasses and flowers.

“Forest Bathing” through walking and sitting in Nature is known to be restorative.

We naturally respond to this environment.

As we sift through the impressions of our senses, we feel quiet joy.

We take the time to observe.

We breathe deeply.

We are not in a hurry.

Nature moves us into Its’ timelessness.

We have a place in gentle joy.

We are grounded in Nature’s riches.

Subtle and strong colors balance in harmony.

We feel the winds and smell different scents as they change.

Light filters through the leaves of many diffferent trees, forming shifting patterns.

Sounds whisper and branches crack.

Nature gifts us with Her contrasts.

We are totally absorbed in the calm and joy of each moment in Nature.
