Everyone knows that the woods are enchanted and the most magical things can be seen by the waters edge … of trees, grass, sky and water flowing swiftly by
Not so long ago folks took these things for granted, their timeless beauty made them seem abundant but ‘progress’ took over and they were sacrificed

I agree with your thoughts. It is the saddest thing. Is it really progress when we decimate our land? I feel we need to redefine what growth means for the world.

So true! There is so much real natural enchantment to be found. And to be good stewards of.
Oh, I could sit in that setting and soak in the peace and stillness for days and days.
HUGS!!! 🙂

Great words my friend. Nature heals the mind, body and soul. Without these places ‘where magical things happen’ we would truly be lost.
