Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.

John Muir (1838-1914) was an Scottish-born, American naturalist.  He was one of America’s earliest  advocates for wilderness preservation, and he has been referred to as the “Father of National Parks.”  His unwavering support and influence led to the establishment of Yosemite National Park.

Monday Memories: Morning Walk

Waking from my sleep on a dark, chilly day

Preparing for another early morning to play

 

Pulling on my warm jacket and stocking cap

Heading out the door without need of a map

 

Making this early morning journey once again

Walking down a street where many have been

 

Moving hurriedly while struggling with numbing, frigid air

Searching a pocket to discover my gloves are not a pair

 

Being discovered, a nervous rabbit hops away

Seeing me, he certainly doesn’t desire to play

 

Crossing the street, a black cat stares back

Slithering away, she doesn’t cross my path

 

Freezing my face, the frosty air feels bitterly cold

Hurrying along with a pace that is rapid and bold
