I looked down and there he was…a song sparrow happily splashing in a pond. Not a care in the world. As I watched him, I had a thought.
The natural world is all around, beckoning us, offering beauty and comfort and solace and inspiration.
Perhaps time in nature is an antidote to the challenges of the everyday world. A place filled with grace, offering respite from human worries and anxious thoughts.
A place to release old worn out patterns and habits that no longer serve. A sacred space where possibilities show themselves, offering new perspectives in an energy field of hope.
In that moment of pondering, I relaxed for the first time in a long while.
And as I delighted in the little sparrow’s joyful exuberance, I exhaled.
The natural world…such a gift.
