the lake was alive with life this morning. tiny buds forming on the trees, that will soon unfold to become summer leaves. there was a blue heron perched on a tree stump along the water's edge. the lake was covered in new lily pads. the sun peaked out from the clouds and the air was cold and crisp. the nearby hills displayed a dusting of snow, a result of the early spring weather. transforming oneself into a place of being, taking energy and truly just being, in the woods, by the lake, gives peace at all times. then the beauty admired in nature goes along with us all day.
"Beyond the beauty of external forms, there is more here: something that cannot be named, something ineffable, some deep, inner, holy essence. Whenever and wherever there is beauty, this inner essence shines through somehow. It only reveals itself to you when you are present".
--Eckhart Tolle

Hi Stephany,
Lovely post and photo and poem.
Nice seeing the new leaves on the photo.
Have a good day.

The woods are really starting to bud and green up nicely -- in between the hailstorms. They feel like they're sporting hope.
