The Meadonw by Michael Auguste There’s a gently sloping meadow of scarlet and ivory wildflowers where I often go to sit and think. In the distance is a lake where I sometimes skip stones, or just cool my feet. The water is almost always still and mirrors the clouds and surrounding landscape. On either side are small mountains, covered in old growth fir and spruce trees. As the sun sets, shadows from these forests come running on stealthy feet and cloak the meadow’s colors in different shades of night. It is then that the lake becomes a watery heaven and all of the stars are within my reach. Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

You've described a beautiful place. Hope it is a protected place. If not, you should see to it. It will be written about again. |

This is beautiful! It may dwell in your imagination, but you could be describing a meadow I know of in Northern Idaho where I live. I go there often in the growing season to enjoy the beauty. Betty Lou Hebert |
