Nature—A Powerful Stillness Refuge— And You Just Need to “Be” with It

​I woke up this morning to the view in the photo below and I instantly felt total peace and comfort. My monkey mind had stopped and I was receiving the wonderful gift that nature has to offer.

Give yourself a break and just be there with it!  (Okay, I did take a quick photo without breaking the spell).
