This and much else, I have to thankful for. Waking up to a late sunrise. Watching sheep run away at the slightest movements. Watching the sudden appearance of a flock of birds, busily pecking at worms, there must be over a hundred of them, these brown well fed creatures with pointed beaks, they all looked like pregnant magpies. They were soon driven away by a small company of crows. Thus the day rolled on.
Taking a walk along the narrow side road, just stopping short of the water’s edge, at a fence marked, Private. Not a leaf stirred would be apt, except there are no trees on this landscape. Grasses perhaps, tall ones, instead of leaves, and folded and contoured with the wind, looking like the waves on the ocean. Except these are carpeted all over the hillsides and on the fields and in gardens. It was relaxing day. The kind that makes you think you’ve just walked into a painting. So much Gratitude for this opportunity to unwind and emotionally rejuvenate.
Grateful to discover that the city has its points, but also that quiet country living has its own unique charms. May all discover these sweet serenities.
