Some days when your soul gets overwhelmed with its past burdens, you take to the woods...where you process, work out excess emotions, accept hard truths....
...enjoy beautiful water sources...
...relish happy dog faces...
...appreciate wildflowers holding tight in unlikely places..
...soak up needed shady patches...
....relish the multiple wildflowers along the trail...
...finally at a past view point, you might choose to talk to God...
....and read a final chapter in your book while lunching back along the river...
....and then finally, finally...choose to lay your burdens down...to truly hand them over to a source more powerful than yourself...and to trust that you are not a product of only what was and that life will present you with what you need.
What overcomes you is relief, lightness, happiness, and stability.
What a great place and time to finally lay old burdens down.
Beautiful post. Being out in nature is so healing for me, so all those hikes I did at the end of my time in Charlotte were really good for me. I am glad you had a great day that filled you with light and happiness!
