The rhythm of nature sings the loudest
in the high country. Walk slowly up the path, feel the cool breeze
on your face, hear the sounds of wind in the pines and the gurgling
stream beside you, and you will hear the music your soul longs for.
While the senses detect the melody, the heart will begin to hear
the delicate messages of nature if only we quiet our hearts and
listen. What is the message of the frolicking sound of a stream as
it forever flows downward to the sea? And what can we learn as the
gentle brook cascades over a cliff, to be separated for a time in
isolated droplets and then be reunited in the thunderous splash at
the base. What is the meaning of the moan of the wind in the
needles of the pines? What new growth and color can be brought
forth from an avalanche? What beautiful sculpture might take shape
from the wind and the rain? The Creator has messages for you in
his creation - tender words which give meaning to the harshness of
life, quiet lullabies that sing of your value and place in the the
world. Go ahead and take that stroll so you can hear the
Highland Song.
