Once in a While

Once in a while we need to step back
From the hustle and bustle of life,
Finding quieter pathways
Far away from stress and strife.
Just a stroll by a rippling stream
Will bring a calmness deep within;
Draw close to the beauty of nature
And sense a new healing begin.
Look up at the hills unchanged by time,
The lakes, the sea and the shore;
You'll gain strength from God's creation
As you face the world once more.

I know, but soon the days of light longer into the evening will return!
You could also go on the weekends before dark, but I guess nothing like unwinding at the end of a work day huh??
Well, U will have to shut your eyes and return to the Mountains in your mind :) -

Priorities and perspective, Simone. You find the field behind your house healing. Tell the world it can wait for a while and take some time for yourself.
The world needs you and you need the field. So do the world a favor and go there this weekend. -

That is a beautiful reminder to us of what is most important to us, Maria. Often we get so caught up in "The List" that we loose sight of what our spirits need. The result is stress, frustration, and sometimes anger.
Thank you. ((((hugs))))
