Forest Bathing

Some years back, an old friend shared about the wonders of forest bathing.  Well, it seems that I've been doing that for a long time.

Just never called it forest bathing.

Being mindful with Nature, being in touch with sights, smells, sounds, and touch of Nature has been part of me since childhood.




But the reminder to be conscious of every step, sound, smell, sight, and touch helps to bring one back to being part of the greater universe.


Go back to Nature but with a more conscious mind.  And be aware of all around.

Harvest Moon

The Harvest Moon came up just before the Autumn Solstice.

Life has been challenging for the past few months and the pandemic has worsen everything in life.

For the sake of the future of the next generation, we struggle on; as our forebears did for us and their forebears did for them.


And the moon looks from the heavens and say, "This too shall pass."

Sunrise

Always great to rise with the sun and catch the first rays, especially over water.
Reminds me of the quiet of a day of possibilities.

Knowing that in a while, the harsh realities of the day will hit. But holding on the hope that things will be all right in the end.

That is what is known as Faith.
