When we go to our land in the country, I find myself just absorbing the peace.
Looking at the layers of green and the sky overhead expands my feelings so far beyond anything I have been dealing with day-to-day.
It is a gift to feel the Universe so close.
I listen to the bird calls during the day and the coyote calls during the night.
There is a rhythm to the Universe, to Nature.
I watch the trees blowing and listen to the sounds of wind in the high trees.
I hear the rustle of small creatures in the leaves at night.
I use different senses.
At night, I wake up and watch the slow progression of the constellations across the sky.
I feel encapsulated when I return to the city.
But I know another place in the Universe.
