Green spaces
There is nothing quite like them
Places to rejuvenate and and revitalize
There are few things as wonderful
As a hammock in a breeze
Swaying gently listening to the sounds of nature
Reveling in the beauty and wonder of nature
There is much wisdom in the idea of greenbelts or greenways
In this modern life so often
We neglect to connect with the outdoors
When quite often that is exactly what we need
A nice long walk through the woods and trees
Listening to the sounds of the world around us
Not the the hustle and bustle
The cars and horns
The shrill beeps and quit clicks
The trills and vibrations of our phones
The ever constant notifications of someone or something
The constant Cacophony of Modern Life
Harsh and Dissonant rushed and cramped
Retreat into nature for an hour or 2
Let the peace and stillness of life surround you
Listen to the silent song
Of a World at peace
Singing the praise of it’s creator
Enjoy the green spaces
The Desert plains the Mountains
Rivers and Streams
Come join me in a revolution
Not against some great power
Or a harsh dictator
Nor an Authoritarian Dictator
Join me in taking time each week
Sitting still or walking through the greenspaces
Letting the natural peace of this World fill you
Listen to the world singing in praise
Listen and let it be
Let the music flood and overwhelm your soul
Let your voice either quietly or out loud
Join the chorus of Natures song
For remember what Jesus said of the rocks
“I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out.” Luke 19:40 NASB 1995
Join me in the green spaces
Let your soul rejuvenate
For we were not made for concrete and steel canyons
But for trees and grass
For fields and plains
Rivers and streams
Not asphalt and sidewalks
