” Some may want to divide us to gain all the control of all that is around them, but when we stand in unity there will be no division”

After spending some time off the grid and meeting a few who were also out there off the grid within the wilderness, there is no division in this screwed up society, the only division comes to us from the far left liberal media and those on the far left of the party in denial, AKA………. The Democrats.

Life within the beauty of Mother Nature is the most perfect life there is, the peace, the serenity, and even when you become so stressed in your everyday daily grind, you step out within Mother Nature and the stress simply melts away, and you can actually feel it, like a huge weight being lifted off of your shoulders. With all this craziness around us and coming to us like bullets out of a machine gun by the far left liberal media, will make us totally forget everything else around us, will make us forget that there is true beauty out there, but the media don’t want us to see that, as they pull out all the stops to brainwash us and control everything around us. Then there is social media, something that we all have become addicted to, the addiction is the hook that all the big tech companies like twitter and facebook, will use to reel us all deeper into the ugliness and the hatred all around us.

Mother Nature is God’s country, God created this beauty so we all can enjoy it, the problem in this society is, we don’t get out enough to fully enjoy it. We get so engulfed with all the ugliness, corruption and the hate that is around us, we become afraid to step outside our comfort zones, that we neglect everything that Mother Nature has to offer. The beauty is so deep within the wilderness, it is like it never ends, every where you turn there is more beauty as far as the eye can see, the far left liberal media do not want us to see the beauty, as they will keep bombarding us with much hatred and ugliness.

True there are other animals around us, we become so afraid of them we then will not step outside within Mother Nature with them, but we tend to forget that, they have a home just like you and I, and we have to respect their home just as we want others to respect our home. Respect is a two way street and when you walk your path of this journey through life with a lack of respect, then Karma gets involved and you do not want to deal with Karma, as with Karma comes the saying, ” pay back is a B!@#$”. Some may think they are entitled to everything around them, but in reality you are only entitled to what you earn and if you do not earn that something, then you are entitled to nothing. Life is of what you make it and if you make it hard then life will be hard, in today’s society we have foregotten this, which because of the actions of some, is why we see all the hatred and ugliness that is around us today.

Camping off the grid is something we all should do from time to time, not only does it help you relax, and let the stress melt away from our souls, but it helps you get back to who you truly are, helps you get back in touch with all the good around you, and when you come across others out there and they all wave and say hello, it proves that we are all in unity walking this journey, and this journey is not at all like what the far left liberal media wants us to believe, or like what the party of denial wants us to believe in as well, we all may walk our own paths, but this journey through life is all the same, whether you are on the left, the right, or within the middle, and when we unite together is when we can walk in peace and be as happy as we can be, throughout this journey of life.

” The only division in this society comes from the far left liberal media with their twisted agendas”

” Mother Nature is a beauty we all take for granted and never experience it as we should”

Rest for the Weary

” Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ‘

Matthew 11:28

Within this fast paced society of today, that is driven by greed and self righteousness, we do become very weary daily, how do you rest or re-charge your body? For some maybe load up on coffee for plenty of caffeine, maybe a mid day power nap? Or maybe even a weekend away? But these things are simply a temporary fix that passes quickly and the weariness returns, as the faith in Jesus Christ is what gives us the true rest deep within our souls, we just need to come to him, so we than can get the true rest our body needs.

With our daily routines comes frustration and chaos within the world around us as well, When we don’t get what we want, we become frustrated, when our jobs push us to our brink, we then become very weary which brings a whole host of chaos to our lives, when we become so tired from the stress, the chaos and the work from the push, we then will enter into burnout and if we do not handle the burnout correctly, we then will become bitter, have a wide variety of health problems, which then brings us much pain and hurt. Within the fast paced society we forget to truly heal ourselves in mind, body and soul, because we get so caught up in the chaos and our minds get lost within the clouds of our judgments, that we forget to take the time for ourselves, to regain the faith in ourselves and Jesus Christ. When we heal properly and when we get the proper rest we need, then not only can we walk freely of our paths on this journey of life, but we can also walk together with each other, without bringing hatred, chaos or ugliness to all that is around us.

We all will walk our own paths but the journey is the same, throughout this journey there will be many events that will tesgt us, there will be many who may cross our paths that will bring us much pain and hurt, as well as many that will come to us to help us when we need help the most, the problem then becomes we ourselves and when we do not be truthful to ourselves, how then can we be truthful with each other? The bigger picture of this is, not being truthful with ourselves, we then can never be truthful with Jesus Christ, which then becomes the number one reason why, we stop going within the house of God, to not just pray, but to hide deep within ourselves and not acknowledge of who we truly are. When we all come together in unity while being truthful of ourselves, with the faith of ourselves and Jesus Christ, then the love within our hearts will shine at it’s brightest, as all the hatred and ugliness disappears from all around us.

Rest is key for us all and not just resting from the work we put in from our jobs, but the rest that will help us heal from all our troubles, the rest that gives us spiritual healing deep within our soul. Getting out deep within Mother Nature and within her peace and serenity, will help us get the true rest we need, so we can heal within our mind, body and soul, from all that troubles us, so we than can move forward better and stronger. Some may want to vacation in an exotic place, with many others around and become stressed as they try to fit in everything in a short period of time, but thats not true rest, as it does nothing but add to the already tension within us. Step outside, step out deep within the woods of nature, listen to the peace and the sounds of nature, the birds singing their songs, the wind passing through the leaves of the tree, the water slapping against the shoreline, even a woodpecker pecking away at the tree. When you get out within Mother Nature and totally relax, you can feel the stress melt away from your body, kind of like a heavy weight being lifted off of your shoulders, spend a week out there and now you will recieve the proper healing within your mind, body and soul, plus you will also will trust yourself and while this takes place, learn to trust in Jesus Christ once again, as he led you to this special place, so you can truly heal as he wants you to. This is the biggest problem in this fast paced society, we don’t trust as we once did for whatever reason? We then hide deep within ourselves as we think we are protecting ourselves from any or further harm, but as the clouds then over come our judgments, we lose sight of who we truly are as we keep the foot on the gas and speed up further the pace throughout this journey, what do not realize is that while we bury deeper of who we truly are, our trust of each other gets buried as well. So as we move forward throughout this journey, we then hurt deeply each other and never show any love or empathy of each other. All this is on us the people of this society and all this can change if only we the people change our ways moving forward, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

” Rest for the weary isn’t just falling asleep, it’s the healing of the mind, body and soul”

” The power of mother nature can change everything within it, just simply trust in her and the healing will begin”

The beautiful sights and sounds of Mother Nature

We of this society have become so engulfed for so long, on all the Rhetoric and hate around us, we have then lost total sight of all the true beauty that is around us. We have stopped walking any and all the paths of this journey, simply because we let all the fear from all the Rhetoric control who we truly are, we let some of these so-called leader’s lead us in the wrong direction, instead of we the people taking the lead when we need be, showing them that if they can not do the job, then step aside get out of the way and let another step in and do the job that you refuse to do, so we all can prosper and get back to truly walking our paths through this journey of life.

Within this society, the biggest thing we have wrong is, Church and State are supposed to be separate? But these so-called leaders are so engulfed in the Power, Control and the Greed, they think they are our God also? A State helps us thrive to be better as we walk our paths, while a Church helps us with our faith, so we then can have hope along the path and throughout this journey, when the two become one, that is when all the issues and troubles come to us all.

Jesus Christ didn’t come to us to divide us, he came to share his love with us, to bring us together so we can move forward better and stronger. We can all make a difference on this journey, but when we do it as we are now, then what difference are we really making when we are all divided? Jesus didn’t teach us this, it is totally on we the people and we are screwing it all up Royally, the difference has been going on for a long time now, just that through all the denial, the power hungriness, the greed, and the hate, this journey has stopped for us all, for no one knows totally of how to start it back up properly for the good of us all. The ones who do not care for their fellow man, are the ones responsible for all this ugliness and are the ones that need to be stopped in their tracks, held accountable for their actions, so we all can walk our paths with confidence and dignity throughout this journey of life. God didn’t put us here to be against each other, he wants us to unite together while showing our love in our hearts, with each other, with each step along our paths, throughout this journey of life.

 

” Don’t let the Rhetoric and the ugliness control who we are, let Mother Nature transform you to be better and stronger”

 

” This ugliness is on we the people, Jesus didn’t teach us this when he walked this journey here with us”

 

” A picture may be worth a thousand dollars, but our actions can and will last throughout a lifetime along this journey of life”

 

 

The current of the waves throughout this journey

This journey through life will not only throw you a curve, but it will also pull you into the current, even as you try to fight it to get out of it. When the current gets churned up by the winds above, it creates these waves that have you weave and bob your way forward, yes you can get tired real fast as you work hard at the weaving and the bobbing, through the feelings of being tired it can and will make you want to give up and what we do not know at the time, we become stronger when we keep fighting instead of giving up. When we give in and give up, now we become successive to a whole slew of other issues, which makes this journey even harder than it really needs to be.

There will be many storms that will come to us as we walk our paths through this journey of life, but each storm will pass and we will keep moving forward, sometimes with each storm, we get so caught up within the twisted whirlwinds, that we become lost with no sense of direction, we get so pushed around by the current that we become dazed and confused for the true direction of our path so we then give up and just drift in the direction of the wind, till the winds die down and stop, then we begin to try to find where we are and pick up the pieces, so we can attempt to move forward like we knew what was going on. The storms may overwhelm us as they show their fury, but when we stay true to who we are, we will weather the storm and move forward into the light of the sun and calmer days.

When Jesus came to us and walked his journey here with us, he showed us how to walk through the storm, how to have complete faith in self and in him so we then can move forward stronger, he never showed us nor did it ever come to him to show us how to give up that is totally on us with our actions or maybe in our inactions. Jesus was tempted by Satan to walk with him and leave his father in heaven, but he stayed true to his faith in himself and his father, showing us all, that having true faith will always lead us to the hope to move forward better and stronger, so we will always find the light of the path of righteousness, which then leads us to love, happiness and peace always.

 

” When life has you struggling to stay afloat, paddle harder so you find the calmer waters and smoother water moving forward along the journey”

 

” Never let the rigorous flow decide your fate, work harder and let your destiny be that of happiness, peace and smooth sailing”

 

” The storms will always cross our paths, the storms will always seem overwhelming, but with true faith, there will always be hope to pass through the storm, get through the darkness of the storm, to reach the light of the path of righteousness”

Now that Winter is almost fully in the rearview mirror, it is about that time to start switching gears and getting ready to get out within mother nature once again. Enjoying all the true beauty that is around you, enjoying the sweet smell of the fresh clean air, without the smog and funky smells of the city. Get the kayak ready and stretch out the camping gear, plus this season I will be attaching a go-pro to the kayak and taking some great video for my U-tube channel, maybe even attaching to my backpack for some hiking video as well, I also thought I never would, but I have also started an Instagram for another platform to show my adventures in mother nature and share some great pictures as well as videos. so now you can follow my words here, then my adventure trips on my twitter, my Facebook page at tireless freelance writing, my Instagram and let’s not forget some great video on my U-tube channel as well.

I can’t wait to get out within mother nature and leave this broken society in the rearview mirror for a while, spend a week or two within the woods full of adventure without listening to all the drama at every turn, the biggest problem within this society is, we all get so wrapped up within the unwanted print news or the tv news, that we forget there is so much beauty all around us. Then there is this thing called work, yes we all need to work to make the ends meet and take whatever adventures we take, but it is also good to step away from the daily grind, step away from the daily drama and all gossip that we try to avoid, clear our minds of all the crap so we can heal ourselves of our troubles and start fresh with a clean slate, to move forward better and stronger as we walk our paths of this journey through life.

I don’t know about you? But I am done with all this election crap, all the attacking of each other on the debate stage, I mean if you can not run for a public office on your own merits without attacking your opponent, then maybe you shouldn’t be running for any office at all, that is just my opinion. Then there are all the lies and making yourself out to be somebody you are not no wonder why this society is so broken? Now there are some who live for all this drama, the bickering, the attacking and get so consumed with all this crap, that they then forget that there is this thing called life, that you need to actually work at, so you can walk your path as smoothly as you can. Plus there are these candidates that offer free stuff as their pitch to get into office and there are some who actually buy into this pitch, who do you think will actually pay for this free stuff? You guessed it, the ones that actually work very hard and pay their taxes, so those lazy types can buy into all the free talk.

Mother Nature has a lot more to offer you than any so-called candidate, that will offer you the world and never deliver on what they offer, true mother nature can at times show her fury, but also true that she has so much beauty for us all to see as well and even better, with each trip into her back yard, you will always see something different. Then there is all the different plant life, some that you will never see in your daily grind, the so many different species of wildlife for us all to enjoy to see in their natural habitats, now as we venture within mother nature let’s not forget two major rules, 1, we are now in the home of all the wildlife, so we need to respect them as we want others to respect our homes, 2, always leave no trace behind and respect the land for future visits, not to mention so we can always venture into mother nature to see all the beauty and not the crap that some may leave behind. We all walk our own paths through this journey of life, so if we all come together in unity, respect each other, show empathy of each other, then just maybe we can eliminate all the crap, the hatred, and the ugliness, as we all move forward in peace and harmony always.

 

” The beauty of mother nature is all around us we just have to get out and explore”

 

” Respect goes a long way when each one of us does it together”

 

” If you can not run for an office on your own merits then maybe you should not run for that office”

 

” Mother nature is free and unlike what some may say you can actually venture out and enjoy all her beauty”

 

 

The many Gaps throughout this journey

These rocks have many gaps with one main gap, which is the one that the water flows through and down forming the falls, no matter where we may look, there are many gaps all around us, with the biggest gap being between each one of us also known as the ” Generation Gap”. The Generation Gap can be so very far apart or it can be closer than we would like, but none the less there is a Generation Gap of the entire Human race whether we learn to accept it or not?

The Grand Canyon has many big gaps from one side to another, just as we as well like, the younger generation and the golden year’s generation, now unlike what some may want to accept, those in their golden years are definitely more experienced along this journey, now true that they may not have all the answers as they also might not have taken the same path through this journey, but also very true that they also have walked this journey and have seen many moons, as well as many sunsets and sunrises as well. Throughout this journey of life for some reason or another, we tend to think we ourselves have all the answers and that we know more than the other and with that, we then think that even with the path we walk and that no other has walked the same path, that we know everything and the rest need to learn from me? There is so much we all need to learn of this journey if only we could set aside our differences, then just maybe we all could coincide as we walk our paths, through this journey of life in the peace and serenity we all so deserve.

There are so many Gaps from time to time we will step within them instead of over them, some of these Gaps are quite deep and can hurt very deeply as well, which is why it is just as important to pick ourselves up properly, or the pain will overcome us so much that, we may never walk through this journey correctly because we then let the pain dictate how we walk, instead of us dictating just how we step on our paths of this journey through life. For us to step over the gaps is a lot different than the water flowing down the gaps and over the rocks, then down into the pool below, now we may not be able to flow like the water over the falls, but we can flow just as easy along our paths when our steps along the path we chose, don’t become too spread out and force us to get out of sync with what is around us.

The Waterfall of life so gracious as it flows along the path of its journey, one of the many beauties we can see when we step outside and take an adventure, then as we see all of its beauty, we then can heal ourselves of all our troubles and pain, so we can move forward to be better and stronger always throughout this journey, there are many gaps throughout this journey, it is when we let the gaps dictate the way we walk our paths, that makes the journey a bit rougher than it should be, but when we dictate how we step over the gaps, then it is as easy as one foot in front of the other.

 

” The Generation Gap could be wide or it could be narrow, so no matter what we all still need to coincide to move forward better and stronger”

 

 

” The Grand Canyon has many Gaps as it is the Gaps that stand out through all else”

 

 

” The beauty of a waterfall within the mountains is as beautiful as it gets with no question”

 

” With the many Gaps along the journey never let the gaps dictate of just how you walk your path”

” You have heard that it was said to your Ancestors, you shall not kill and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment”

Mt 5:21-22a

 

With this quote from scripture and as we truly decipher the words, you can clearly see that each one of us are guilty of sin, so I think we all need to enter into the house of God, so we can ask for his forgiveness, so we can move forward within this journey through life, without looking back and dwelling in the troubles of our pasts, keeping us within the walls of purgatory within this life.

God created us all as equals true there are some differences, but these differences are what makes us unique to each other, now in this society, we simply do not look deep enough to see any uniqueness, we judge way to quickly and when it comes to getting to truly know one another……….. Let’s just say it may be easier to walk along the shore of the beach and watch the waves slap the shoreline alone with our own thoughts. This journey through life was meant for us all to coincide, not to be divided or bicker at each other with each turn.

The heart is front and center as the most vital of our organs, the heart can become overcome real easily, but if we treat it correctly it can also bring us much comfort and joy with feelings of warmth. The heart will see everything as all our other organs send it the signals of life, the love of Jesus is also within our hearts which brings us the warmth of life, so we can move forward with strength.

Today we take for granted so much that we do not even think about what is most important until it becomes too late, we will get caught up with neglecting what is good, only to try to fit in with what we think is normal? then we think that if we do not actually pull the trigger of the gun, then we did not commit the sin of the murder, but what we do not want to think about is, once that even has become a thought, now the signal has gone within our hearts, to which the sin has already been committed long before the trigger has been pulled and now we need to walk into the house of the Lord, so we can have God forgive us and then we can forgive ourselves and others.

“Bless me, Lord, for I have sinned”, you do not hear these words all too much anymore simply because, with a few that do not have the faith let alone believe, they will cry and say that they have been offended until another will make an amendment that will prohibit anyone from saying those words, are you kidding me? Have we stooped to this level today? I think we all should go back to the basics, go back to the beginning of Mankind, go back to a time that we couldn’t even communicate with anything around us and we had to figure it out, or we simply became just another statistic as we walked through this journey of life.

This journey may seem hard to some, but it is really quite simple and all you need to figure it out is simple Common Sense. Now other societies of the past left us with good and a lot of prosperity, but within this society and our actions, we will not leave the newest generation with the same prosperity that we received, instead, we will leave them on their own to figure out, with no base to start from and use as a guide, for their actions to take them into a journey of peace, instead of a journey full of great pain and hurt. The guide for us here in America is the Constitution, which is why we all have to read it in its entirety, each country has its own guidelines, but this is another way of us showing our uniqueness, now I get that we will want to interpret these guidelines very different, but if we do not follow our heart, then our judgments along this journey will be within the clouds throughout this journey, then the pain and the hurt, not to mention the walking of the journey with no common sense, will have us all be within the division and bickering back and forth without truly listening to anything that is around us.

 

” Don’t skip any beat as the heart is the life of all throughout this journey of life”

 

 

” The killing takes place in the mind’s eye before any action has been taken”

 

 

” The sin is made when you simply think of the action, not when you actually take the action”

 

 

 

The Journey to the top

The journey to the top can encompass many things, it’s not just hiking within the wilderness and reaching the summit of a mountain, it is also about reaching the pinnacle of your career and working your way to the top within the company you work. Both can and will be a lot of work, one being the hike up a mountain will drain you both physically and mentally, while depending on where you work it can involve more mental than physical? No matter which journey you are on, it will bring you great rewards when you achieve all that you want to achieve, especially when you reach the summit and not only breathe in the fresh air, but totally take in all the true beauty all around you.

The journey through the wilderness on your way to the summit of the mountain will hold so much beauty around you, that it keeps all your senses in tune to everything like the birds singing from tree to tree, the branches whistling as they sway in the breeze from the air, your sense of smell coming alive as the fresh aroma of the fresh air the plants and the wildflowers make your nose tickle with envy, your ears seem to be more active and amplified as all the sounds within nature have them totally in tune with all that is around you and will have you hear even a twig snap from a good distance away, then as you look out at what you are seeing, your eyes then will have you more in focus with all that you may come across as you walk the journey to the summit of the mountain and as you reach the summit of the mountain, now you really see clearly for many miles all around you.

The journey within the path you take in your career choice is a whole lot different than the journey to the summit of the mountain, the drive you have within you so you can work to reach the pinnacle of your career is similar but different as you work hard in your career, you now lose out on the true beauty around you, as you focus solely on the job and reaching the summit within the company you work. Now we all can not reach the summit within our career choices, but we all can reach the summits of the mountains we chose to walk a path upon, within our careers and with all our hard work, now we become too tired to venture out within an adventure, we then stay within our inner circles without getting out within nature, seeing all the same things day after day, keeping the same routines from week to week, then not only taking everything for granted but totally forgetting that there is a whole lot more out there and a whole lot more beauty around us as well. True that we need the journey within our careers to make ends meet, but if we do not acknowledge all the other journeys also, now the path we walk through this journey of life, just may become boring and have us wandering, instead of actually walking with confidence, all the little journeys within this one big journey.

The journey to the top of anything can and will come with some work on our part, but that’s just it, we need to work in order to reap all the benefits no matter what the journey for which we walk. Nothing comes easy and nothing will come freely, which is why we work hard, so we then can reap all the benefits and see all the true beauty that is all around us, at every turn along our paths of this journey through life.

 

” The journey to the top comes in many different ways and will always reward us in just as many ways as well”

 

” There is much beauty all around us with the key being we just need to focus and truly look deeply into what we see”

 

” When we are out of focus then no matter what we look at will never be clear for us to see”

Through all the ugliness the beauty still shines very brightly,

The beauty is all around us you simply have to get up and look,

Never let the drama overwhelm you or you will never see the beauty,

The power of denial will keep you from seeing all the beauty,

The bias media will rob you of your money to feed you all the drama,

The little water pools nestled within the mountains bring peace,

The cool clear water within these pools helps you relax from the ugliness,

Look around in the pool as you just might see the source a beautiful cascade of water,

As you look up in the sky you can see the birds soar by with no worries from anything,

Sit in the water and listen to what’s around……. Oh, wait…….. peace and serenity,

It is so relaxing you fall asleep as life’s problems are released from your body,

Some water pools within the mountains are hot pools that are heated naturally,

No electricity needed as the Earth warms your body and soul,

The rocks look so hard around the outside of the pool,

but in the right position, they offer a nice resting place,

No radio needed as the Earth offers all the sounds free of charge,

Can you truly see it? The beauty that is all around,

You don’t have to be within nature to see the beauty,

There is plenty of beauty even as you walk out your door,

Just that we let all the drama from the bias media overwhelm us,

We get so consumed with living the dream that we forget to actually live,

There is so much more to this journey of life,

We just have to walk our paths correctly to truly enjoy the beauty,

Life may seem very difficult at times with no end in sight,

Only because we don’t let ourselves live and get consumed by ugliness and drama,

A lot of the beauty you can not see, but truly feel it within your heart and soul,

The beauty of whatever you are looking at goes deeper than the surface,

Let yourself live to see all the beauty you can even through all the ugliness,

So we all can walk our paths of this journey in true peace and serenity.

 

” Beauty is always deeper then what we portray it to be, only because we skim the surface of everything we see”

 

” Go outside and enjoy the pools within the mountains, let yourself go as you get away from the consumption of all the ugliness”

 

 

 

As the Seasons change

All this beauty is about to be covered in the beauty of a white winter blanket, there are already some areas that have been deeply covered with this white blanket, but here in the northeast and for our first layer of the white blanket coming, there are some that are complaining already and it’s not even here yet. Each year we go through the four seasons of, Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall, you can’t bypass one to get to another, no matter where you are, you have to get through one season to get to the one you like, unless maybe you become like a Bear and sleep through a season and awaken at the one you like.

Now you can cheat the seasons by moving to a warmer climate when one becomes colder and vice versa, but as you do this now you can not enjoy the beauty that each season holds. True Winter has this white blanket that covers all, cold days and nights to freeze everything around you, but the beauty of Winter is everything as beautiful as all the other seasons. Some of us will never look deeply into the Winter season as they are too busy trying to stay warm, but if you look deeply into winter you can clearly see the true beauty it brings and when you dress warm enough, yes you can venture out like the other seasons and see all the true beauty Mother Nature blesses us with each winter.

Now some will say that it is too much work as we have to shovel and snow blow our driveways and sidewalks, but what about all the leaf blowing in the Fall and the raking in the spring, not too mention the work of keeping our lawns green, The Summer’s maybe the least work as with the warmth we then embark on our vacations, but we have to ready the home before and after we come back, so really if you are living in reality, all four seasons do come with their own kind of work, but it seems like the Winter gets the ” raw” deal more often then not.

The beauty of the white winter blanket when you embark on the outdoors, the crunching of the snow with each step, the easier to see all the tracks of the wildlife that roam in the winter, there is so much more to the season of winter than just the shoveling and the snow blowing, so unless you get out and enjoy the season you will never see the true beauty that Old Man Winter holds in store for us all. During a fresh storm as the snow falls, have you ever gone out in the yard and really listened to the silent beauty of the white winter blanket? It is kind of like Mother Nature hitting the mute button, which will force us to look around to see the true beauty of winter, that is the cone of silence that Mother Nature is trying to say, ” slow down for a bit and enjoy my beauty, as opposed to the noise of your everyday lives”.

With all the ugliness, hatred, pain and hurt we bring to each other, it is the four seasons that bring us peace and serenity when we look deeply into what we are looking at, each season brings its own flare to us as we walk our paths through this journey of life, it is the seasons that help us recharge, helps us heal from our troubles, but we have to look deeper into the seasons, without being too critical or just glancing over the top of the seasons. All four seasons are there for us all to see them for what they truly are, not to bicker and whine just because you do not like the white winter blanket or the work involved from each season, there is plenty to enjoy of all the seasons, but first you have to accept and go with the changes of each season, to truly see all the beauty that each season holds for us all.

A good start to enjoying this season of Winter is, we have this Holiday called Christmas and with today being the first advent Sunday to Christmas, may we all dig down deep and feel the love of Jesus within our hearts and souls, so we then can move forward sharing this love with each other, so we than can forget of all this ugliness and hatred, get back to who we truly are and not what this society says we are, then just maybe we all can coincide together in the happiness and peace we all so deserve, while we also enjoy all the true beauty of each season as they pass by each year.

 

” There are four seasons each year, let’s enjoy each of them with no regrets”

 

” The white winter blanket that warms the earth during the cold dark days of winter”

 

” The beauty of mother nature is within all four seasons you just have to truly see to enjoy”

 

” Christmas is the enjoying the new baby in the manger as Jesus is born to come walk this journey here with us”
