    Quieting of my spirit

    Sunset from Red Fox Meadows

    looking out across the meadow 
    my mind restless and troubled
    seeking the quieting of my spirit.

    as the sun sets over the mountains 
    nature empties herself completely  
    finding the quieting of my spirit.

    This simple poem was inspired by one of Mary Oliver’s poems. She spent time in nature on an almost daily basis which is motivating me to do the same. At times I feel regret for those times I could have spent in nature. I wonder if time in nature inspires me to write or if my writing inspires me to spend more time in nature. Have a great day!!

    P.S. We have water falling from the sky. People are telling me it’s called rain. ☔
