Step Into the Woods

"Understanding your soul and truth is a process, because 

with each discovery comes a new horizon."

Lorraine Nilon

Walking in the woods, there is very little distraction unless we consider the movements of small animals, birds chirping or colorful floating leaves to be bothersome.  It is within moments of stepping into the presence of the trees that one begins to feel themselves come home within his or her body. Stress can be swept aside by the gentle fragrance of fall.

In this space of nature, we can ask ourselves who we are and what we are doing to reflect this particular persona. Acknowledging that it is not always easy to present our authentic self, we can be proud of being true to ourselves. If we feel discomfort, explore it and follow through with appropriate adjustment. 

If we avoid these occasions to be alone in our thoughts, it is generally an effort to dodge our truths. Once we take a step towards adjustment, we experience a sense of freedom. Change is hard, but the rewards can be life changing. Liberation offers clarity into new horizons that can uplift our soul's progress.
