The Morning walk is something that I have started to integrate into my morning routine. I have found that it gives me great solace and calms my spirit. I get to listen to the sounds of nature and connect myself to something that is grounding and true.<\/p>\n
The world we live in can be so noisy and “hi tech” with our face glued to a phone or computer screen. The news flashes everywhere and many of us long for an escape from it all if only for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
This morning I walked in the rain. And it was so delightful and refreshing. I got to see the fall decorations starting to appear and the autumn flowers starting to bloom.<\/p>\n
As I walked, I just listened. I listened to the many types of birds talking, warning of us of the storm that was about to come, yet, they were flying around perhaps getting a few flights in before they went undercover.<\/p>\n
And I listened to the distant thunder thinking I probably should head for home.<\/p>\n
Instead, I popped open the umbrella and continued to shoot video and photos that inspired me.<\/p>\n
I wanted to feel the rain on my face, the wind in my hair and hear Mother Nature in all her glory.<\/p>\n
I didn’t listen to a podcast or some inspirational you tube video, no… I wanted the silence and the sounds of nature to call to me.<\/p>\n
I find myself more drawn to nature than ever before these days. The world around us changing so quickly and it feels a bit too intense for my liking.<\/p>\n
I think there comes a time in our lives where we begin to really reflect on what is important and what isn’t. We yearn for peace and contentment more than fame and fortune.<\/p>\n
There are days where I wish I could just spend about two weeks in the woods or in a cottage by the ocean (yes, even at this time of year) and let the world go by, no responsibilities , nothing to think about, just a connection to nature and all its’ glory.<\/p>\n
For nature doesn’t really over think things, she just ebbs and flows with the seasons. She knows when it is time to be still and when it’s time to grow.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately my life right now doesn’t dictate a two week hiatus somewhere, so I will be content with my morning walks and all the peace that it brings me.<\/p>\n
I encourage everyone to get a little bit of nature into their lives, whatever that looks like for you!<\/p>\n
