Today I went for a walk in the woods. Being out, away from people, in the mountains, with the trees; it feeds my soul in a way that nothing else can.
The Aspen Trees are turning here in Colorado. Having spent my last fall in New England, famous for its colors this time of the year, I have to say, the Mountains, the Cedars, the Aspens are so much more beautiful to me. I sat for quite a while, enjoying the beauty and stillness the engulfed me. It was such a wonderful moment with that I even teared up a little.
The emotional impact of my surroundings on my mental state was tremendous. After spending 2 years on the east coast I feared I would never live in my beloved mountains again. I missed them so, my heart ached for them everyday. But now, I am back to mountains, the most stupendous mountains I have ever laid my eyes upon. Here, I feel complete. Here, I feel satisfied in a way I have never experienced before.
The mountains are my temple. The trees are my brethren. And the sky is my soul.
Peace and Love
Rosebud.
