I do not worship nature, but I worship the Word that went forth & created all the nature..

I feel forces drawing at me...
Gently tugging, nudging at my spirit...
Beckoning unto me-Come see- be my friend...
And let me share myself with you..

The mountains call unto me, saying...
Come be with me, walk my slopes,,,
Savor my sweet mountain air...
And be refreshed my friend...

My brother, the eagle, calls to me from on high...
Come sail with me, ride the winds, be free...
See all that there is to see..
Soar, exalt thyself, caress the heavens and live...

I hear the clear waters speak unto me...
As they drip & dance o'er the rocks,,,
Calling my name, saying, come enjoy,taste-
The goodness, the freshness, I give you life...
Come go with me to yonder valleys...

I hear the breezes whisper unto me in the pines...
Come with me, my friend, smell my incense---
Enjoy my fragrance,smell the leaves upon my breath..
Let me caress you & comfort you & be your lover--
And bring unto you all the songs of the birds...

And my brother,the wolf, beckons to me-
As I look into the depths of his mysterious eyes..
Come with me, trudge beside me, I will show you..
All the beautiful lonesome paths of quietness...
The high peaks of granite overlooking vast valleys
   below..
The glimmering moonlite upon a desolate lake...
I will show unto you peace..my brother..peace..
Who will ever understand you my friend...I will.!!

Hello dad!  Very good imagery here, and so many descriptive words, that made me feel all you spoke of, so vividly!  Makes me want to take a walk through deep woods somewhere, and just look & listen....Thank you for taking me there with your words!  Fantastic adventure it was.....breathtaking!   You sure are up late tonight - don't let this internet thing interfere with your love life now!!  LOL

I always capitalize "Mother Nature"... as she is simply an extension of "His" gift to us....
Nice job, James.....
