Morning walk

Every day is a lesson in life. Observing nature and watching birds in the early morning never ceases to amaze me. They seem to know more about how to live life to the full and to enjoy each moment. Why can't we be more like them? They do not stress themselves out over small things like us. Being able to fly and feel free to survey the landscape from a branch of a lone tree on the Heath is all they need. Nature brings us this simplicity of spirit - to appreciate each daily action as a fulfilling yet simple way to live.

March morning

Today is the last day of March. It has been a fabulous March with lots of warm sunny days. All the shoots are sprouting and the birdsong has been music to ears. I walked along the Heath and have begun to recognise the different calls of the chiff chaff, yellow hammer and the reed bunting. I have not seen the reed bunting but I have heard his cheep-cheep-chizzup call from his grass nest close to the ground.

Vision and Purpose

How do we know what our vision and purpose are? The life we lead may not be our vision and purpose and when we find ourselves dissatisfied and unhappy with our situations, we have to re-evaluate what is important and what it is that makes us happy. The journey in search of this truth lies within ourselves, not in the material attachments that we think are necessary to make us happy. The knowledge we gain is by listening and digging deep within ourselves. It takes time, patience and understanding to know our true selves.
