Morning Pages - A Moment of Peace

This landscape is so peaceful it seems to instantly relax the mind. It takes me back to hillside rambles with only bird song and the odd wild thing for company. No noisy traffic pumping endless pollution into the air, it is idyllic. A time when summer days were warm but not so hot you didn’t dare move. You could take a deep breath and smell nothing but freshness. I used to love summer picnics and just being at one with nature. It makes my heart break when I think there is precious little of this type of space left on our planet and what there is out there is slowly being suffocated by man’s greed for mass production and the need to be somewhere so fast. What beauty of the world are we leaving for our children, do we actually teach our children to respect the planet and all its life. My own sons would much rather sit in front of a computer screen than venture out of town to enjoy a moment of nature though I think they do try to accommodate there wacky mum and her green tree- hugger ways which is something I guess. Maybe I was the same and its just now as I am much older I see things from a different perspective
