Connectedness

photo by Vivienne Moss


 
I love the feel of connectedness I feel while surround by the beauty of Nature. Time seems to slow down, the voices on the wind calling you to join the Dance of Nature. The scent of moist earth fills the air with memories of past lives. Lives that we live when we were in tune with the cycles and rhythms of Mama Earth. Feeling the Breath of Life seep through every tree, stone and plant brings to mind the sacredness of all things.  The reflection of light dancing on water  looks like tiny little faeries playing in the afternoon sunshine. Even the dead trees seem to be filled with a life of their own. They have many stories to tell. Grandparents to us all, they can share the knowledge of times gone by.

 When I leave surroundings like this one, I try to bring a little of that feeling back with me. I can feel the connectedness around my house and around town but it's not as strong. It is there though, that Scared feeling that we all belong....  We just have to learn to see with our hearts...

Blessings, Viv

  2. This is so so true Vivienne...I have a feeling time is just another portal opening to
    align our spirits...in and out we weave through all of them at any given moment...especially in light of our bringing those feelings along with us when we leave a certain sacred spot/place. You've woven a beautiful visual for me to take along with me this evening...I can feel and smell and embrace the trees, the water, and the whispered cycles of Grandfather and Grandmother Spirits who live there.

    Thank you for this peaceful sharing...
    In Radiant Peace,

    1. Hi Akasa, Very pleased that you enjoyed this post. The essence of place has stayed with me for while now.

      Blogger does have a way of driving one bonkers from time to time. Hope it works itself out.

      Blessings, Viv

  3. Beautiful photo, Vivienne! I can imagine how invigorating it must be to let that sort of natural beauty really soak into your senses. Particularly in this hectic world. I know that I sometimes forget to just stop and "smell the roses" because I find myself so busy, but I'd probably feel a lot better if I did. :)

    1. Hi Emma, Like you , I tend to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the world around me. It is good for the soul to take a break and connect with the natural beauty that surrounds us.

      Blessings, Viv

  4. Viv, that was beautifully written. I read it four times! I agree, if we could all see with our hearts we'd be happier. I love the photo, too, with its wonderful old, dead trees and the reflections in the water. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful post.

    Blessings,

    Victoria
