The warm night brings a morning rain and the little creek in my yard swells. It’s run to the Gauley River quickens as it playfully swirls around the exposed stone. I have to admit that the stay at home orders have been a bit of a blessed in disguise for me. Instead of stealing a few minutes while on the road I’ve been able to enjoy a full hour of solitude on my mountain. I was even able to slip away to the neighboring mountain today and enjoy the majestic view of the Gauley River.
The trip is normally only available to me in weekends but the absence of a commute and the lingering daylight meshed together to bring out the opportunity.
I’ve stated before that having a moment of tranquility is just as important to health as eating right and exercise. Between the mass media and pressures of modern life the mind becomes cluttered and the mind is the gateway to the spirit. Everything we see, hear or experience becomes a part of our whole being. Some things are unavoidable. Everyone has a little clutter here and there in there mind. But the mind is only a gateway. Yes. It can let things in but a gate works in two directions. We can also use it to move the clutter out. For me that means spending time in the natural world. I believe that it’s something that’s common to all of humanity. Sitting by a stream and watching the water swirl around the rocks or making the egress up a seldom used mountain pass with windows down and listening to the woodpeckers call and drum helps to open that gate and set the clutter out by the curb. Even if it’s not something that is available to you at the moment you can close your eyes and call forth the details of your own little spot in nature. Perhaps the images I provide can help but however you do it be sure to enjoy some tranquility today.
