Persian rug

This year flew by at a wink of an eye-it was a most wonderful year. We all have ups and down,that is being human-but looking at it overall it was one of the best. Maybe it is where we live- it is a wonder of nature, it has a wonderful natural vibration and spirit. I often wonder who walked here,who lived here  where I am walking; I am sure they must have been very happy in this wonderful place,-and yet it is very close to the city; one just can get lost on the trails in our forest and just be embraced by the spirit of God everywhere-one just feels the oneness.

We still enjoying Indian Summer, see myriads of stars in the evening and we had the largest “golden”moon ever the other day reflecting back from the  river was enchanting. All the trees are bare apart from the pines-the ravine down to the river and the lawn looks like it is covered by a majestic Persian hand woven carpet-with the different coloured leaves-it was like a magnificent painting.  However- it was cleared up totally this afternoon by the gardeners-and once more we have the green grass carpet back once more and our resident raccoon family loves it.

All my life I lived in the heart of the city, and seldom thought and saw the beauty of nature-apart from our garden or once a while on a holiday into the mountains or down to the sea. One should be conscious of all the beauty every moment and notice the tiniest of things –they are all incredible miracles. Often things we miss that are out of mind. In the city one can hardly ever see a star-we miss the most important parts of creation. In the city we work, run from mall to mall, shop till we drop and many live in huge concrete structures and watch TV all night, drop into bed and then the same thing starts again the next day-like lab rats. Our souls instead of expanding , contract for lack of growth, which beauty, nature, creation brings forth from our spirit-and if we lose or forget those inspirations materialism takes over the reigns of life. We become more and more diminished by modern life and just "exist" instead of experiencing life to the fullest.
So just look up- and try to look at the stars and imagine the grandness of creation and the vastness of the universe of which we are a part of-and you will be so amazed.
