A walk through the flowers

Peace and Joy to All

Take a walk in the Woods

Delight in the serenity of a walk in the woods. Wander down a winding path among the trees where

the only thing you hear is the chirping of the birds and rustling of the small creatures in the bushes. Watch for special surprises.





















  A perfect little flower, the breeze moving through the pines with that calming sound, the smell of cedar and pine, shimmering emerald leaves and a quick glance of a rabbit or squirrel , a rare bird you‘ve never seen before, a salamander as he darts across your path. What peace! What calmness!

Meander on down the path until you get to the pond and sit awhile on a rock.
  Aren’t the lily pads wonderful, floating on the water like bright green rafts waiting for a frog to take a ride. Sit very still and the dragonflies will dart about, glimmering in the sunshine with their iridescent wings of purple, blue or red. Sometimes you can convince them to alight on your hand and you will be able to see them up close. I think they are curious about humans.

Gaze peacefully into the water and see all the life swimming. Little minnows, tadpoles, water spiders in their own little world. Listen!! There is a frog calling and over there an answer. And then another answers. Soon a whole chorus of frogs are speaking to each other. What do you suppose they are talking about?

If you sit long enough the ducks will decide you are harmless and come to feed and paddle about and do their " Bottoms Up"  dive to catch the little fish and pull weeds off the bottom. They talk to each other in their quacking voices --very busy--very bossy.

Gaze into the pond and see your own reflection--Do you look peaceful? Gaze long enough to see peace, truth, calmness, your world right where it needs to be. If you sit long enough and quite enough the forest around you will continue with its life and you will be able to observe a wonderful world where everything is just right, and in divine order.

Rise slowly, when its time to continue on your path and notice how majestic the pine trees are. Stand under an old one that’s been in this forest for years and it will tell you its story of continuing seasons, storms and sunshine, families of birds nesting in its branches, breezes blowing through its leaves, the wise owl that roosts and watches every night.

Life- continuing- supportive-good. Can you feel God in this forest? Notice the path beneath your feet. Feel the earth--supporting you, strong, firm, always there.

As you walk down the path with the sunshine glimmering through the trees you will be feeling the deepest contentment and peace. Reflect on this wonderful earth that God gives us to enjoy and carry this feeling back to share with others.

And when life becomes difficult take a meditative journey to this place in the woods, feel the peace and quietness. Know life is good, all is well in your world,

And Give Thanks
