A blue sky, a calm breeze, warm sunshine on your skin, walking through the woods and quiet pastures, your lover by your side, your dog trotting along keeping you both company, observing the first signs of Spring, buds breaking on a wild rose, un-named green leaves pushing through the damp earth, a single sycamore shining and waving its white arms around against the blue sky..... stopping to observe, silent, transfixed.... breathing deep, soaking in the experience, the calm, peaceful presence of a beautiful day. Steve I can completely relate to this for the whole last week, except that here it is autumn, like nature recovering from the hot dry summer after the little bit of rain recently and I have no lover but three loving young dogs running and chasing each other and kangaroos (for about 100 m and then give up) full of life's exuberance and excitement. It is still dry, but on the floodplain along the Murray it is not so obvious. Lots of birds seem to enjoy the day just as much. The different colour and quality of the autumn sunlight is beautiful, expecially in the morning - a very light translucent yellow that brings out every little detail so crystal clearly. When swimmming in the river the splashing water drops are like brilliant little diamionds against the sunlight and the water flows smooth and cool along the skin. After the swim some qi-gong to capture the natural calm and happy energy. Christiane > > >
