Connection

There is something that pulls me to nature. 

I feel it on days when time has gotten away from me, 

a tug, a pull, a sensation that tells me I have not connected with Mother Earth. 

I am often a little off on those days...my soul feels off balance. 

When I head into nature, when I make the time to connect, I feel a sense of peace. 

The moment I step into the woods, 

sit by the water 

or run on the trails 

I am over come with a feeling...a feeling I can't quite describe, but it is amazing.

It is also the reason I make sure I take Reece into nature on a regular basis. 

It is not only me that changes with that first step onto the trail, Reece does too. 

I can feel it and I am pretty sure he can feel it too. 

There is a sense of calm that washes over both of us. 

No words are spoken those first few minutes on the trail, we just take it all in. 

We watch.

We listen.

We breath.

We feel.

And then we explore. 

We usually find a nice spot for lunch along the trails,

we eat, we talk, we enjoy each others company.

I love these moments, just Reece and I, 

connecting with each other and Mother Nature. 

I know he finds the same sense of peace and magic I find 

and for that I am so very grateful.

"The human spirit needs places 

where nature has not been rearranged 

by the hand of man."
