Taking A Moment In Nature

One of the most beautiful sites is to witness mother nature in her purest form.  This morning my usual hike with my beloved K-9's was met with eight of so inches of freshly fallen snow.  We were the only ones out just as the sun came up.  The stillness and smells of freshness were intoxicating.  Taking the time to visit mother nature daily is essential to great health.  So many times I have asked friends to join me on my walks and all to often I get the response, "I am too busy".  At one time, I also had that response.  However, since i am steward of Radha and Plato there is no excuse...I want to go.  For the last several years this ritual has changed my thinking and has made me realize the important of seeing nature daily. The sites for the eyes are good for the brain as well as helping the mind expand.  You see the mind does not want to be in a cubical daily...it wants to be expansive. Nature provides this for us.  Just taking a walk in nature allows you to connect to the source of your origin.  Too often we dissociate ourselves from the basic elements.  When this happens we fall ill.  So we can say that one of the best cures for illness is to get back into nature.  I am not going to end by saying if you get some time today go for a walk.  But what I will say is "take time to visit mother nature today".  You will be glad that you did.
