I went to Bernheim forest today, a local park about an hour from here. You forget where you are when your walking through these trees. The sky was a brilliant blue and the trails provided a much needed sence of calmness. Its nice to take time out for me where I am left with only nature and my thoughts. Taking time to think about what has been, what is, and whats to come. Thinking about my work, my family, my true friends, all my travels I've had and those that are still yet to come.
My walk today was simple, not profound in any way. In no way was it life changing. Just some- what peacefull and calm. It had a gentle feeling to it. The kind you get from napping in the afternoon, or that you get from drinking a cold glass of water on a hot summers day. It was the kind of reverie that nurishes the mind, body, and soul. Green trees as far as my eyes could see. Now why can't there be more places around like this. So peacefull and so settling. Didn't want to leave, want to come back again.
Next time I think I will return just before dusk, when the sun is still setting and the moon is still rising. Reminisant of two children on a sea-saw. As one goes down we notice the other must come down. Funny how that is, every action has a reaction. Maybe this time a shorter walk, enjoying the ducks on the lake and the birds in the trees. Stopping to hear every sound. The crickets, the frogs and anything else the sings as night falls. There is something magical about this time of day, when all the night life comes out to play.
Yes I will return. During the fall when the leaves have changed. As I feel there is a change coming for me as well. And this change has been long awaited for.
