glanced at the soft sunshine pouring through the forest and wondered if it was kissing the lovely lady slippers camera in hand i wandered into the woods sure enough sunlight gently graced the forest and landed on the lovely orchids when i headed out i thought i would be home soon for a cup of tea but the forest beckoned me wrapping an aura of rarified energy around me i wander through trees meadows and over hills green lush everywhere at this time of year flowers sprinkled throughout bird song as a companion the forest has that ability to wrap itself around us in a nurturing way unwinding any tight places bringing our breath gently home and mind quiet it offers us peace and inspiration inspiring awe for our beautiful world posted by tammie lee at 4 39 pm 6 comments email this
