Nature is constantly singing to you in the language of your soul. She is humming an ancient melody that will stir your joy within. And when you listen to her song, you will feel healing take over your being. You will come back to life, so much so that you can barely contain it! That is when you remember how infinite you have always been.
God’s World by Edna St. Vincent Milllay
O world, I cannot hold thee close enough!
Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!
Thy mists, that roll and rise!
Thy woods, this autumn day, that ache and sag
And all but cry with colour! That gaunt crag
To crush! To lift the lean of that black bluff!
World, World, I cannot get thee close enough!
Long have I known a glory in it all,
But never knew I this;
Here such a passion is
As stretcheth me apart, –Lord, I do fear
Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year;
My soul is all but out of me, –let fall
No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call
This is exactly how I feel every time I sit quietly in your beautiful Atlanta garden. You are a blessing in many lives.
Thank you so much. I am so grateful for you.
Beautiful!!!
Doesn’t Millay’s poem truly capture it? Love having you here.
I can definitely say that wathching the hummingbirds on the back deck yesterday truly did revive a part of my soul.
So wonderful to hear about your experience Josh. Hope everything’s going great at The Spirit of the Scripture.
The rose colored sunset, the rain showers filtered through with sunlight, and later the lighting bugs lighting up my back yard in their dance of flashing beauty, flowing around and through me as though I was not here but there dancing with them in this natural God given heaven.
Just gorgeous. I feel transported to the evening you describe so beautifully.
You feel Nature is too close to soul , because we find it beautiful and It is really you, nature and self are not dual, it is non dual, as we say in sanskrit Advida – universe in Non dual
