My Walden Pond

 

I must be in the Thoreau phase of my life. He had Walden Pond; I have Delta Pond. It is here that I celebrate this present moment. 

I begin my trail walk with this meditation which allows me to connect with nature.

Mother Nature

who is everywhere

in everything

in all beings

I commune with you.

I appreciate everything

reflections in the water

ripples created by goose play and grooming

swooping bird life flying by

the radiance of the sun

the refreshing comfort of cloud cover

goslings in a line between mom and dad

the echo of honking

turtles lined up in a row on a log

in ascending order

a curious little squirrel 

climbing out on a branch, staring at me

Life

in this present moment

is good and necessary
