Profound Message…

Well… that’s for you to decide for yourself…  it’s all a point of perception, attitude, frame of mind, and outlook on life.

  • So just stop… and slow down… slow down.
  • Find some quiet moments
  • Close your eyes
  • Take a deep breathe… breath in and out slowly and deeply
  • Relax your body
  • Think of a peaceful and calm place, or better yet go there. 
  • Flex your muscles and then relax
  • Relive a fond memory
  • Breathe and relax
  • Think of all the good things that bring you happiness and joy
  • Just breathe and relax

nature (1) You can lie back or lie down… or be a kid again… go outside and during a quiet time and lie down on the ground looking that the clouds in the sky… or better yet at night gazing at the moon and the stars. Think about the calming effect that the moon has had on people since the beginning of time… calming, relaxing, and almost mesmerizing. nature (5) Take a walk in the woods looking for all the smallest things… interesting little creatures of all sorts… colorful plants, trees, little wild flowers… the simple beauty of and acorn. Watch the squirrels, chipmunks, or the birds gathering food or twigs for nests. Take a walk along the beach looking for the smallest of treasures. 

Just find you own little space to just get emotionally lost for a while and let reality fade away for a while.  Pretend you are as a child seeing it all for the first time… everything is new and interesting… see it, hear it, and smell it through a child eyes. Smell the scents of nature, the wild flowers, nature (7) the honeysuckle… listen to the sounds of the winds as it moves the trees and leaves… listen to the song birds… and find out what every little sound is… you’ll be surprised what you really can hear if you only stop to listen. Nature is always a good place to start… completely away from anything connected with modern reality. Try not to see anything but nature… no buildings, no cars, no people… go someplace away from it all or just get a view point where you can’t see it… only nature. The wondrous things in nature.

Sometimes I just find a vantage point where I just lay back,  relax, and wonder off in spirit while looking at the moon and stars…nature (3) the silhouette of the trees framing the scene… the clouds gently sliding by… wondering how someone was on this very spot gazing at this same moon and sky… hundreds or thousands of years ago… thinking the same thoughts as me… how beautiful and peaceful. What they might have been thinking or feeling… how they lived… and what brought me and them to this same place… ions apart… to gaze at this same scene that has played host to all of us for thousands of years. Just find your own little place to escape to… A close-up of frangipani flowers.if only for a little while… every couple of days or so. Refresh your mind and soul… and in finding and being one with nature… you just may find a bit more of yourself that has been somewhat lost to the reality of today’s busy world.
