The Healing Power of Nature"There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature."
Rachel Carson
Recently, I had the time to wander through the "Common Area" in our neighborhood. It always seems so quiet, especially in winter. The magic and majesty of nature always soothes my soul.
On this visit, I walked down a path I rarely tread. This red barn seemed to say, "Stop and look at me!" So, I did. Its bright color seemed to pop against the neutral colors of winter.
Though we had horses and ponies when I was a child, I'm by no stretch of the imagination an equestrian. Still, seeing these beautiful creatures brought back memories of my childhood.
In nearly every challenging time of my life, I have found my way back by spending time in nature. I'm incredibly grateful that in this chapter of my life, I live in such a beautiful natural setting.
"When Nature's finery is wiped away by Winter its raw beauty is revealed." Victoria Lindstrom
