It’s a Beautiful Day
Friday, April 4th, 2008And all is right in my world
This morning’s drive into work, skirting the edge of the New Forest was one of the best I’ve had in the 3 years I’ve lived in this part of the world. The weather was very agreeable and this is one of my favourite times of the year; not too hot, a very slight chill in the air - a beautiful early spring morning. It was one of those mornings when you want to slow down so you can enjoy the journey more.
The morning sun highlighted the bright yellow gorse flowers that gird the road for a good part of the trip, rising behind them the still bare winter trees look as though they have a fine mist of green settled upon their branches as the new growth starts to show through. Every few yards there is fresh new green tree with leaves almost fully formed and the early sun makes these leaves glow in their lush greenery against a soft blue sky with just a few wispy clouds.
It is a fantastic privilege to be alive and able to experience such things.
Don’t spoil it by telling me that there is any input to this from any god! It’s nature pure and simple; there is no need to give thanks to anyone for this - it is here free for you to enjoy.
