Nature's peace will flow into you...


"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you,
and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you
like the leaves of Autumn."

John Muir

I am thankful that my husband has spent a lifetime walking through the forests cruising timber, so we take many hikes in the forests searching for wild mushrooms. I have seen the sunshine flowing through the trees and heard the wind of the forest. It is an awesome experience to be able to hike through forests.

I SO look forward to your words daily. Rather they be quotes or your own words, they are a deep breath to me.
Thank you
