I took a late afternoon slow walk with my nature journal in the state park yesterday, and wandered down a valley trail along a rolling creek. Stopping at an inviting creek side spot, I sat and listened to the water burble, sketched the scene, and fell into that sense of meditation that comes from connecting with nature in the present moment.
When sun sank, and I was out of time to draw, I snapped a photo of a particularly inviting tree trunk. This morning, I was able to instantly reconnect to the feelings of immersion in the enchanted woodlands as I sketched and painted that moss-covered, knobby tree trunk. A lovely way to start the morning.
