watercolor 8 x 10 7/2020
Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshiping.
…….hubert reeves
I number among the fortunate humans to have experienced the deep intimacy of the forests, lakes, streams and oceans. Is it any wonder that our species is blatantly destroying our beautiful gift of nature when they have not truly tasted that gift. How many spend time laying on their backs watching the vastness of the sky, listening to the birds calling, smell the richness of the soil. Too busy. Too busy following thoughts that lie to us telling us that whatever task or activity may be before us is more important than taking the moment to greet the day prayerfully or stop to assist one in need. Peace is already within us we have only to see.

A beautiful message to wrap this exquisite expression of nature and us in a true appreciation of our relationship with nature, our mother.
Thank you. Everything is always about returning to source even if we are not aware. We seek comfort and wisdom in Mother always.
Lovely 👌
Sometimes, our lives get too crazy that the only way we can find our, sanity back, is by, getting, closer to, nature, immersing our selves, in her, beauty…

OUR CREATOR IS WELL-PLEASED WITH THE HEART AND SOUL OF THIS ONE!
Thank you Jonathan
Yowza!
I READ IT ON HOLLY’S BLOG AND HAD TO COME SEE! I’VE BEEN WRITING ABOUT OUR CREATOR MYSELF, THIS MORNING!
And, Jonathan, what did your writing reveal? Enjoy your day.
Not sure what you mean—I saw Holly’s reblog and came over to your blog to see the original! 😀
I was referring to what you wrote….’I’ve been writing about the Creator myself.’ I call this journaling and I have always found it to reveal aspects of myself that otherwise tend to remain hidden to me.❤️
I DO WRITE ABOUT MY FAITH IN GOD WHEN I CAN DO SO WITHOUT TOO MUCH RANCOR…! CREATION IS A GREAT WITNESS OF AN iNTELLIGENT DESIGNER, IF ANYTHING IS!
Lovely words. Lovely watercolour.
Thank you Ben
🙏
