There's something about the Wilderness that beckons my soul. Something that takes me away from the mundane into the world i have been searching all my life... Something that gives me the serenity and peace that I having been looking outside all through... only to find it within me when I am wandering into these pathless woods...
I have seen the landscapes in the country where I live when it rains and I have seen the way the surroundings here on my motherland change... when tiny droplets of water falls from the vault of heaven to unite with the earth's dusky skin leaving you mesmerised with the wonders of nature... the fragrance of the wet soil, the inception of the greens...the feeling of being alive... There is a vast difference when it rains there and when it rains here... It is soul stirring here...
I had always missed feeling changing seasons there... every season brings with it a new zest of life .. the changing patterns in the nature.. tells me about the changes i need to make within me.. the withering of leaves to allow the fresh green leaves to be born again, the rain washing the earths crust only for the layer beneath to be exposed and show how fertile the landscapes could be... the snow and the cold weather showing us the importance of warmth..Mother Nature is our biggest preceptor, our guru, our mentor... and it's high time we learn to listen to the unsaid...
The more I wander into the mountains, a place away from the hustle bustle of the city life... the more I feel like I belong there.. I want to feel the wind brush against my bare skin, the musky scents of the earth after it rains, the ever flowing rivers and the mighty waterfalls, the red pinks purples blooming all around... the untouched green landscapes, the fresh air... listen to the music that the earth plays... enjoy the sounds of silence... To lose myself only to find myself again, feel in love with everything around me.. within me, to me going to the woods is like going home... it's yet another time that i feel the Wilderness is calling ... & I must go...
