Calling Lakes Centre Serenity

I'm at Calling Lakes Centre for the weekend.  This beautiful, peaceful place snuggled into the hills of the Qu'Appelle Valley.  As I go outside for a walk this afternoon, the serenity of the surroundings permeate my being, filling every cell in my body with contentment, peace, tranquility.

 I notice the gentle breeze lifting the yellow leaves from the tree branches, sending them dancing down to the earth.  The crisp cool air clears my head and I am even more aware of the world around me.

The water laps lightly onto the rocks at the edge of the lake.  The gentle rhythm resonates throughout my entire body.  The sun tries hard to shine through the clouds and the flowers valiantly hold their heads up despite the cold temperatures, speaking to me of resilience and determination.  The tweeting and chirping of the birds in the trees fills me with gladness and joy.  They feel like kindred spirits.

I just want to sit here amongst this beauty, absorbing all of its peaceful, life-giving energy.  I am one with all things.  At one with the whole universe.  I am.
