Paradise is often a Higher Place

Oh, for the love of getting a good dose of sun and shine, now that the blanket of cold was pulled out for the day. The trivial has become more important, but, it really seems to matter not. For just one day, throw caution to the wind, bury all that is hanging out to be done and walk the walk of the trails in the woods. The here and now is absolutely all that I am worried about for the moment. Tomorrow is another day. and I honestly have nothing that cannot keep for the moment. I have to admit, today is a glorious day! How about yours?*

Like the newness of love in the present tense. It is merely a celebration of the senses.

Live the present as you love other's presence, for it's the little things we do today that will unfold the mystery of the future.


It's Wednesday! We are walking! As always, I want to thank @Tattoodjay for hosting the #WednesdayWalk challenge! It is a challenge that allows you to share what you see as you walk through your day. Show me where you walked today, I want to see what you got to see and hear what you have to say. If you want to do the challenge, drop him a link on his #WednesdayWalk post here, so he can try to visit yours! Whatever your day looks like, it is worth a walk-through. You can't always have sunshine and rainbows, but, you can always have a #WednesdayWalk!

I took a few days off to wander, walkabout, hikewith a few friends. The weather cooled off in the higher elevations and sleeping among nature and the stars right outside the tent, it brings another whole meaning to the day, carrying me into the night. Life is peaceful, only needing to worry about this moment in time, anything else is on hold for a day or three. Breathe deeply and place one foot in front of the other. Let freedom ring.

We talk, endlessly, as if thirsty for words. If only life could be touched, your words would be the tapestry that made it colorful and as beautiful, you have a way with words and this spark who ignites the conversation, the entire day, filling up this paradise with a meaning I hadn't intended. I dream of it while awake, as if it were a vision to come. The path leads up to a captivating picture for our souls.

Paradise is a place of contentment, but it is not necessarily a land of luxury and idleness. Paradise is often described as a "higher place." source

What a floral passion you have and behind you, you live a trail of lessons so dear to one's life . Beauty is all painted in your words and your moment. Flowers, always to color my world. #alwaysaflower.

All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.

It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I love creative shots like that with the phone!! 😁 Some time in nature is the best way to feel centered again with the universe. Always find it to be good for the soul! Such a lovely area to hike!!

 2 years ago  

Thank you! We all know how uncreative I am!! I am frequently underwhelmed with my work. :)

Some time spent with nature always does the soul good. Several days in a row is simply the best. The area is over a hundred miles long, so there is plenty of it to hike, bike, and walk.

I love it almost any time of the year. Looking forward to the next time already. I love it in the winter too!

I hope all is good with you and you are feeling well.

I want to see the photo of the phone taking the photo of the phone taking the photo you show here. Now wouldn't that be something to see?

 2 years ago  

Wait! Say that slowly for me once again. @galenkp

What do you really want to see? The phone taking a photo of the phone. Okay... Do you want to see who is holding the phone?

What do you really want to see?

Well, how cool would a photo of a phone taking a photo of scenery be? Magnificent. And anyway, just who is holding the phone?

 2 years ago  

Not me. I am taking the picture of the phone and besides that, there is no nail polish. Dead giveaway.

I will have to try that setup someday. :) Where in God's name do you get these ideas?

Lol, I don't know where my ideas come from...maybe deep, deep in the echoey depths of my vast cavernous and empty noggin. 😂

I knew you had to be away, but I didn't imagine that you went up to the mountain with the tent!
Truly a place where you can forget about everything, except for the moment in which you find yourself. Nature and especially the autumn forest are unique. I hope you had a beauty shower and a charge from the earth's energy. This was truly a special ride!

 2 years ago  

Sometimes I do that, it is not too far and is a different world. So peaceful and I have a few friends that love to go there. :) It is a glorious escape, especially with the beauty of Autumn.

Nature is the best balm for the soul. The shower of beauty is stunning.

Hi, Dan! @bluemoon

Hi, Denise! @dswigle

It's exceptional to do this, especially with friends! I can imagine how nice it must be, together, in the morning over coffee or in the evening over tea. I haven't done that for more than 40 years but I still dream of gathering our remaining friends... by the sea, of course. It was a great surprise for me to see that you are doing such trips with friends now, I was very happy for you and it has increased my desire to copy that too, while it is still possible.
Thank you so much, Denise!

Thank you for sharing!

When our soul intertwined in nature now we are at one.
Words of joy spring to mind, no time to write while savouring the moment.
Words will flood back, sweet memories made on the day etched into positive mood.

Happy to hear you spend some days with friends in the forest.
Sometimes we just need to recharge and to do so with friends… 🥰 lovely.

:) I will bet we could. A day in the company of friends is such a perfect day. I have to agree with you, recharging with friends is a great way to gain a new perspective on life and living.

The weather is made for sleeping! Especially if you are all cozy under the weight of a sleeping bag. It feels pretty good until one of you has to get up and make coffee in the morning! :)

Hi, Jackie! I hope you have rested up from the jump over the pond! Thanks for stopping by!

 2 years ago  

Hehehe 🤭 yep.
Exactly like that. It’s good for soul and body. Such times.

Aawww the sound of that, all cozy and warm in a sleeping bag. 🥰 just getting out to make coffee hahaha what a chore that will be. Bbrrrrr but worth it when the coffee is in a cup and you are warming your hands 😁

Yes Denise I think that I am back to my time zone now. Rested a bit and I’m busy like always again.
Always happy to read your posts 😉
Have a wonderful Thursday 👋🏻☀️🐝🌸 enjoy it.

Thanks, lovely. I hope you get all your comments answered! :) You are in a race tonight! ❤️

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your love.
Have a great night!

What a beauty, that's a lovely place to unwind. I a perfect place to escape the real world which is a bit suffocating sometimes. Those trees is just an eye candy to the eyes that will surely feel calm if ever they see that. That's a good place, thanks for sharing it here. I love how vibrant that is 🤩

Thank you, it really was such a wonderful place and time. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words.

Have a great day ahead.

Lovely shots.. Love those autumn colors.. Can't wait to see the mountains again 😁

 2 years ago  

Autumn is so beautiful, although my leaves here are only a little colorful, I had to go to higher elevations to achieve this color. Ours will come a little later.

When do you go back home? Or do you even know yet?

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words. Have a great day!

2 years from now hehe... For now, I will enjoy staying here and experiencing things that I can't in my country

 2 years ago  

A change of view is always interesting to me. You just cannot put a price on the ability and wonder of travel. I have never been anywhere that I didn't like. The world is full of unique experiences, and even though some of the experiences might be similar to what I have in my country, there is always something that puts a different twist on it.

You are absolutely right! Enjoy your time and make the most of those experiences!

These autumn leaves and the water fall are the witness of your visit to an awesome place. You have good hand for photography dear mam wigle, You’ve shared some awesome photographs that worth to share. Hope you had a great Wednesday!

Stay blessed 💖💝❤️

Wednesday was pretty wonderful! A day full of promise and allowing for some natural beauty. This is a particularly beautiful time of the year and I look forward to it.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words. I hope you had a lovely Wednesday.

Your fall colours are starting to appear.
My walk was non-existant today as the weather won!
Have a great week Denise @dswigle 😁

Haha! No way! Does Scotland have bad weather?? Who knew!!🤣
I hope at least the swans were happy!
Do they migrate? I am guessing they must. I never remember seeing any in the winter!

Hi, Ed! @tengolotodo
Tomorrow is another day!!!
Thursdays are made for walking!

hehe smarty pants Denise!
Who knew indeed that Scotland gets not so good weather 🤣
Swans well ours don't migrate, they are lifers, at least ours are anyways.
Thursdays are made for walking, actually every day is made to be a walking day:)
Although it is 7am and the rain is still there!

 2 years ago  

That is trash, Ed! Get with your people and fix it. Hehe... I know people that love the Scottish weather! Or maybe just Scotland and the weather just comes with it. That is the way it is sometimes!

I know it is so beautiful there that the weather is only incidental. :)

hehe I don't mind cold or rain as long as it is at night Denise, but that is what keeps the scenery beautiful I agree Denise!

What a lovely place to have a Wednesday Walk...
Close to nature and away from the noise of the city....

 2 years ago  

That is true. It was the perfect place to take a walk.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words.
Have a great night!

Wonder and very beautiful pictures

 2 years ago  

Thank you. I must say that although your comment is appreciated, you will find it difficult to get much traction here on Hive with such generic comments. You don't even have to read a post to write that.

Genuine comments are appreciated.

Spending time with nature is always the best for me. Walking into this place always gives me peace and contentment rather than exploring the city.

Your photo attached reminda me that my birthday as well as Halloween is coming😆

 2 years ago  

How lovely! I hope you have a nice birthday as well as Halloween! I like the city and I love nature. There is something about both of them that I like.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words.

Glad your day is glorious. Mine too,yea. Let freedom ring indeed. Awesome pictures, esp. the picture lookin' up at those trees.
