Embrace Yourself in the Beauty & Love of Nature

Embrace Yourself in the Beauty & Love of Nature

Today, a friend and I went for an early morning walk in the brisk morning breeze.  It was a spontaneous walk and we were trying to catch-up to a couple of others who left a few minutes earlier.  As we walked, we kept being delayed by house cats following us, which were supposed to have been inside the house :)

So we finally gave up on our break neck speed and decided to notice our surroundings.  As we passed beyond the house and into the open field, we noticed four deer enjoying the morning breeze.  Their love and concern for each other makes them sensitive to their surroundings.  They noticed us; one of them snorted, and they burst further up into the open space.  It was beautiful watching them frolick thru the range, securing a distance which made them feel safe.

Continuing on our way, I saw many young cactus clusters growing in the recently cleared land; and even though some of the cedars had been cut down to preserve the water from the advanced drought, young ones were cropping up in their place :)

When we reached the walking path, the others were coming back from their destination and were crossing our path as we ventured out.  The brisk air started blowing faster as we got closer to the turning point; even so, we continued on our journey, admiring nature all around us.

Decide today, to get yourself out into nature and notice all the new plants, animals and sounds that are their for your enjoyment.  If you feel inspired, go someplace that especially interests you, a destination spot close to where you live.   Be sure to remember to breathe deep as you walk and possibly meditate somewhere at your destination.

Make this a regular practice and sense the love of nature's surroundings, plants and animals alike.  Take photos of the things you notice, preserving it for yourself and to share with others when you like!

Add your comments and share any of nature's treats here with me!

Share the love!
