Day #299 Wind Song

Did you ever sit on the edge of a mountain with a friend, or two of your children?
Did you ever sit or walk or ride your bicycle in a forest?
If you have ever stopped to watch a waterfall - listened to the roar and felt the power - then you know why I want to be on the trails, and, in particular, to cycle the TransCanadaTrail in 2008.
When you're alone in a natural setting, your thoughts drift as to the whys and the wherefors and the whatifs, and the meanings thereof.
As you embrace a boulder, wrap your arms around a tree you have stopped to rest beside/under, you feel close to God.
As you hear the wind's song in the treetops, you feel in love with life.
I rarely cycle over a bridge without stopping to watch the flow, no matter how small the stream/river.
As the water flows, so do my thoughts, and so does my life. Sometimes gently, sometimes wildly. Deep or shallow. Fast or slow.
Whether you cycle short distances or long, you feel rejuventated at the end of the ride, both physically and spiritually.
NatureIs4Us. Try it. You'll want more.
