Heart curves to the Face of such beauty seen,
‘Tis Nature’s sweet bidding, these tender lights green.
that ease all burdens and grasping’s that lean,
This ancient cathedral of Gods’ sweet serene.
Come close and allow me to breathe all of You,
Love blesses each morning that sprinkles the dew,
I pray that Your wonders could wrap me full through,
Your Hidden – such Beauty; we are safe in Its pew.
Let me hear the whispers of how the wind sings,
I long to imagine the sweet chords that ring
as the Heavens fly through the trees tops soft swing.
I am wrapped in His Nature, such a winged joy’s King.

Thank you Walter. I find that I always return to Nature for True Essence, and especially the Heart. Even a strong memory is enough to stir me… Some of the most awe inspiring moments for me have been while in “God’s Cathedral”…..love, Linda

Oh Linda – just exquisitely Divine words ~ one of my favorites of yours for sure. The natural world is our “ancient cathedral” isn’t it? And it’s where we are free and inspired to ask to hear those glorious whispers – to remind us … to answer our deepest hearts’ prayers…. I so do agree – and resonated with me on all levels. Just awe-inspiring …Much Love to you dearest Linda — Robyn

You would understand, Robyn…I had to pull from ‘where deeply inspired’, even when the heart does tire…Nature, even “memories” of special places where I have prayed, even laid to the ground in the green of God’s earth…these are most special “places”, to go for healing the heart, the body, the all of ourselves, entire. Sometimes, we need to hold something sacred first, then pray. It connects our hearts and opens all to the “Universe of Love” that awaits…….

Dearest Linda, you speak of heaven when you speak of this earth (our love). And yet, I know that the same trees that move you and I to such joy, is no more than a piece of green standing in the way of progress to others. Some see only the deformity or the imperfections (o so perfect). But to the eyes of the soul (open always), nature is proof of far more than survival. It is proof of the divine ~ imagination, forgiveness, grace, and light. It is the picture that should stand beside the word LOVE. Thank you for this beautiful tribute to our mother. ~ Love you always, Bobbie
