Seclusion

Every once and awhile I like to be by myself, just to sit and think. When these times come I like to find a nice quiet corner of nowhere and loose myself in natures wonder. Its winter in my little piece of the world right now and there is something quite peaceful about sitting outside in a heavy snowfall, all the sounds around me are hushed and the air seems sleepy and docile. I stare at the flakes as the slowly drift to earth and begin to let my mind drift off with them, I think of what my life has become and what the future might hold, I never seem to dwell on the bad things in life and my future is never harsh at these times, I know there will be hard moments yet these moments are far away almost as if they exist in another reality or maybe I'm in another reality?

When its summer I try to find a stream or a secluded little valley to visit, I'll sit and watch the water bubble past on its merry way to a larger body of water, or I sit and watch animals and insects go about their lives. I realize that God provides for all the animals in nature and if he cares so much about these tiny creatures then how much must he care about me, the creature made in his own image? These moments I cherish I feel as if only I exist and there are no worries to plague me. Unfortunately I at last must rejoin the world as it is, yet I always manage to take a piece of the seclusion with me throughout the day, my own little getaway when I am stressed at work, on the road or at home.
