MOSS

Memories Of Sweet Solitude

While on a recent family camping trip I was able to be completely surround by M.O.S.S. The varied hues of green among the forest floor and canopy breathed live into my starving spirit.   It has been awhile since I have been able to get out the fast pace world and into the slow steady living world.  It does so much for ones body, mind and soul to take a few moments and find a place of solitude.  To reflect on life, love and the blessing of 'just being' one with nature.  I was reminded of an old Louie Armstrong song and can't you just hear him sing...

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And i think to myself:
"What a wonderful world!"

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to my self:
"What a wonderful world!"

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying "How do you do."
They really say: "I love you!"

I hear babies crying I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself:
"What a wonderful world!"
Yes, I think to myself: "What a wonderful world!"

I love MOSS...Memories Of Sweet Solitude.  I can find solitude in a forest or in a canyon.  It is with me as I travel from Washington to Utah or from China to Thailand.  Solitude is a frame of mind.  Solitude is the color green for me.  Solitude is when I can whisper a prayer and know that He is listening.  I can use a little more MOSS in my life.
