Treasures Along the Way

We need it very often
The fast pace and concerns of our lives demand it

Put everything else aside
Stop the frantic rush

Go outside and really notice
All the little things you’ve missed

The magical glitter of the dew
Conversations going on in the tree branches

Whoosh-whoosh of the wind
Gentle traveling of the clouds

The overnight, glorious surprise of the spring blossoms
The unique shape and curves of the trees, as stately silhouettes

The comforting warmth of the morning sun
Giving a deep, peaceful wave within

Take it all in, all the way in
Breathe deeper, slower

Feel the stress vanish with the wind
Wait for your spirit to rise to the surface

Bathe in nature’s beauty
Hear its message to you

Despite all that troubles us
All will be well

In this moment, in this space
All is well
