Tree Perspective

This Morning I was given a Choice

This Morning I was given a choice. I choose life. By that I mean stepping out of the norm, the mundane, the usual. Stepping out of these and into consciousness.

Mohawk River, Amsterdam, NY 12.22

Headed down to the river (Mohawk) this morning, here in Amsterdam, NY. I could feel the power of the river, the power of Mother Nature running through the river. The gates on the locks have been raised for the winter and the water is lower. This allows for a lower and closer connection to the water, albeit more intimate.

As I attempted to take a picture of the blue sky background to a Tree behind me, Hawk flew out, reminding me to not allow my vision to be captured by what immediately lies before me only. “Be Aware”.

As so often happens, Mother Nature has gifts to offer, asking nothing in return. She simply asks that we visit awhile. I’m grateful for the invitation, the gifts, the feeling it all brings so deeply in my very soul.

Walk with Me,
