Sometimes We Just Need to Slow Down…

On a recent trip to Scotland, I had the opportunity to just sit by the river and listen to nature.

The setting was idyllic as though from a travel brochure.

The pic below (yes, those are my muddy boots) is actually a video so make sure you listen for the full affect (it’s only 8 seconds).

I find the quiet of nature to be calming and powerful.

If you really listen… it’s not quiet at all, but I find the sounds of rushing water, chirping birds, and the talking of trees to be truly soul soothing.

I wrote this short poem. I hope you like it.

Letting time slide hither
As a fisherman & his dog
Go about their life
