There is nothing like a long walk on a warm spring day to give me a moment to reflect on life and where it is leading while enjoying the abundance of new life all around me.
Seeing one of the largest duckling rafts I have ever seen had me spellbound for hours as I watched this large family. Due goes to the parents for keeping them all alive and safe, nature can be a harsh place for a tiny duckling. After having the wettest winter in 20 years it was bound to see a fabulous breeding season not just for the waterbirds, but for all bushland life. With the days getting warmer this lake is swiftly drying up and a covering of blue green algae floating on the surface as the shallower waters become warmer. Birdsong filled the air and the melodies were exquisite. Each note entwined around my heart and brought such joy to my soul. The uplifting tunes of many birds a pure delight to hear. Stopping every now and again to watch all the many families enjoying life on the lake, a humbling reminder of keeping life simple.
Life is such a miraculous gift, one which us humans seem to take for granted as we live in an out of balance society, many focusing on things and situations that truly don't matter.
Distracted and disengaged from the miracle of living a life so many humans stumble through life numb to the magnificence surrounding them.
Animal or human makes no difference.
All life is sacred.
When we stop and simplify our days, make time for the truly important things. Which for me are stillness silence and nature balance is restored. As is clarity and as a new path shimmers before me, new chapters woven into bright clear days lay ahead, where only calm joy and peacefulness will be invited in......
