WHEN NATURE CALLS...

We are living in
 a troubled world. 
 Even though 
we all have seen our share of adversity,
 we have to admit, 
these are especially
 tough times...

...and because 
they are so tough,
 we need something that
 takes us away from all the chaos.

  There is a lot going on and 
a lot of changes are being considered and though we need to be aware of it all,
  we still need a chance 
to let it all go
 for even a little while.

 We need a place that is 
quiet and peaceful.

 We need something 
that will soothe our souls
 as nothing else can.

When nature calls 
we must go willingly and 
follow in the footsteps of 
one of the great ambassadors
 of the forest.

We can follow
 a country road and 
not turn around
until we reach the beginning 
of another.

You never know 
what you might find 
as you travel down a country road.
 There might be 
a small patch of
brightly colored flowers...

...or a shimmering 
body of water 
surrounded by 
sandstone cliffs...

...where someone
 with time on their hands
 has carved a relic
 of long ago...

...or a congregation of cows
 having a picnic 
on the green...

...or handsome horses,
 taking advantage of 
the shade from an
old oak tree.

You might see
 nothing in particular 
except an amazing expanse 
of pasture and trees 
that will take 
your breath away.

All up and down 
the country roads 
you will catch a glimpse 
of old barns
 which have lost their usefulness
 over time.

Time is well spent 
when nature calls.

 It is surprising
 how much of the 
loudness of the world
 can be blocked out
 by the 
sighs and the whispers of nature.


Have a wonderful week.

Summer will be here before it is over.



Stay smart, stay well and wear your masks.
