If you can’t see the trees for the forest, then walk in the shade of the wood; it is there that your heart softly lingers when you feel that you’re misunderstood. Breathe  pine-scented breaths while the lichen caresses the trail at your feet; there God’s song of welcome entices, where breezes and bird chorus meet.
If you can’t see the trees for the forest,

when you feel that you’re misunderstood.

caresses the trail at your feet;
there God’s song of welcome entices,
where breezes and bird chorus meet.
Melody, I loved this poem and the great accompanying visual. While you posted this, I found a similar theme in our present travels in an unexpected way.

You’ve got me curious – I hope you will post about your experiences? 🙂
Oh Melody, you’ve outdone yourself, truly!! Lovely, and more–like a psalm. God bless you–love, Caddo
Thank you! It is so lovely here…
You’ve captured the healing balm of the Lord’s creation perfectly in this post and involved all the senses! I love being outside… ~ Wendy
This was taken at a beautiful lake resort – there is much to inspire when in the great outdoors, isn’t there? Thank you, Wendy!
Melody,
Recouping from a six day travel and have missed your musings. A balm for the soul!
Thank you! Hopefully your journey was also refreshing – a break does something for the soul, too!
I was out all day “slaying dragons”… but before turning in tonight, I couldn’t resist stopping for a short walk in the shade in your woods. Many thanks.
This post says it’s 8:28 p.m. … but here it’s going on 11…. Good Night… Pleasant dreams…
Good night, Dragon Slayer! 🙂
Wow – dragons! What an adventurous and exciting thing to be occupied with on an August Wednesday! 🙂
Lovely, Melody.
Thank you! The outdoors is truly inspirational, isn’t it?
.. and God speaks
Amen! 🙂 I am honored by your words!
Meanwhile, Melody Muses...
