The Journey of Peace

The day is coming to an end and the sunset fills the flowing river water with beautiful vibrant colors. You can feel the crisp air enter your lungs when the sun disappears over the horizon turning the sky dark and filling it with an explosion of stars. Some creatures are peacefully falling into a deep slumber while others are opening their eyes in search for their prey in the moonlight. As the rivers current flows north the reflection of the moon begins to shake with anger. Dark clouds fill the sky covering the stars with a thick blanket. A dark depressed shadow lurks on to the earth sending the creatures into hiding. The rivers current is confused, growing bigger, growing stronger. The trees start to shake with fear as the rain pours down flooding the earth with despair. As the trees calm the rivers soul finds peace within itself and becomes a steady current once again. The river breathes as it receives the tears from the sky, its a time for healing and renewal, The land is refreshed and becomes new. All the worries disappear and the sky opens up when the sun is at the midst of rising. You then get the welcome of a new day with the birds sweetly singing their morning song. Little droplets fall from the leaves to the ground. When you look at the horizon with the morning dow shimmering in the sunlight you can see deer grazing in the distance. Living souls awaken and stumble down to the river to bathe and quench their thirst in the cool flowing water. Families join together in the beautiful sunlight. There is no more despair, no more hurt.
Nature is a place of its own. Nature gives you a feeling of freedom, a natural high. A place of peace and serenity but also of brokenness and loss. It can build you up or tear you down. Most importantly its a place where you can find yourself even in the darkest of times. Its not just a place to look at, nature is more than just animals and trees. Deep within you can find a soul, the true beauty within. Through nature is a journey of peace. To feel free you must escape from the cuffs of this world and let your mind soar. When taking in the living environment around you, you can find yourself drifting away. You get a feeling like you're drifting through time and space, your infinite. Your free, free to do whatever. Your senses widen and your soul becomes one with the nature around you. The flow of the universe stops and its just your soul and natures soul together.
