Listen to the birds sing!…….In times past it used to be that living in the country gave you a little more insulation from the cares and problems of the rest of the world. Before the advent of satellite TV, cell phones, and the internet it was possible to “forget” the rest of the world and live in our own smaller more peaceful one. While the invention of the above has connected us all more closely with each other, and made the world a smaller place [and oneness is good], it has also increased our worry and accelerated the pace of our living to a level that makes us feel out of sync with our lives. May we remember that the beauty and peacefulness of nature still has its effectiveness on us that God intended. As you sit on the deck in the early morning, or walk the trails, listening to the birds and feeling the warmth of the morning sun, there’s a oneness with the symphony of life around us. If only for a short while, this can refresh our batteries and send us back into the “everyday” world with a renewed sense of peace and harmony, and hope for the future. May you find the time to seek a recharge from nature today, be it here on the ranch or in a park, a grove of trees, or your own backyard.
