There is integrity in the lay of this land. These trees have grown tall and strong, rooted in solid ground.. withstanding intense cold, heat, wind, snow, rain. They have remained and thrived through all types of conditions, through so many seasons. Yes, these lovely trees have stood proudly and grown strong.. always beautiful. And the ground around these trees that have supported them and held their roots so firmly for so long.. its existence I celebrate, as well.
I have trust in the solid beauty of nature.. its growth and its strength. It inspires me and speaks to me in a language that I understand. I love the truth and solidity of its everyday existence.. for truth is no longer an easy thing to find in this world. There are so many words out there spoken by so many.. words that are difficult to believe or understand. Words that have little meaning or merit. Words that are difficult to trust.
Nature speaks not in words, but in a lovely, strong, and dependable reality that whispers truth and beauty.. it offers peace of mind and inspiration. It is something to hold onto..
