The Best Things in Life Are Free!

[Boldylocks]

I am copying over here what I wrote over in the Reiki forum blog beczuse I think my Forest Lover friends here will all appreciate this as much as I.

Feel free to use it as a your own little meadowland/forest meditation while stuck on an airplane, courthouse, etc!




It was more than I expected while on my walk today. The sun was shining, and my family had gone for the day, so what better chance to explore!

I usually walk to the pond down our road, or up the road to enjoy the wild areas there., but this time I decided to walk up the mountain from across the street of our home.

The hill looks like a rural painting from the 1800's. The kahki grasses are mixed with golden rod , red clover and queen anne's lace. I boldly walked through them to reach the heights I never walked before. The Sun shone over the nearby forest. My aim was to follow the Sun and cut through the woods to get to the beautiful apple orchards. These orchards I can see from a distance, but seemed too far for anyone to venture.

As I cut through the woods, my home no longer visible-- I marvelled at the beauty all around me. I was in a different land I had never known existed so close to my road.


The Sun still shone through the trees, and I could see the farmland and orchards some ways up past the forest. Sun shone on the freshly cut hills and sparkled like diamonds through the leaves. A cat bird sang his songs while hopping on the branches and the squirrels were running here and there foraging freshly fallen acorns. I found some nice large pieces of bark to cover my next Fairy cottage I will be making . It will be a nice big one for my Fae friends!

How beautiful that there is a place like this for the wild birds and animals. Thank God there are still places like this on Earth for them!

Walking back, the Sun was resting above the mountainside, and patches of light were still evident over the apple orchard up yonder.

I dropped onto the grass on the hill and watched the remaining Sun shine through the Queen Anne's Lace near my face. I was awestruck at the birds swooping over the tree tops - tucking themselves in for the coming night and the sky.. Wow, the Sky was pure bright cornflower Blue!
On that hillside, I could see for miles to other mountains, and the Valley below. Clouds floated over there .

This must be what the Native Americans saw as they passed by here hundreds of years ago. They didnt hear lawn mowers, -- just the birds.

Sitting there on that mountain field, I gave reiki to my Woodland family of trees, birds and all of Nature.

The Best things in life really are free!
