Finding a Peaceful Moment

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Tuesday 16 September 2025 at 07:50

It was a peaceful day today,  and after I had  done all the shopping, then I walked along the country lane on the edge of the village,  to the woods.

In the woods it was lovely and cool, so I stayed in the wood for a while,  listening  to the beautiful birdsong, and watching the birds as I quietly followed the footpath, around to the other side of the wood.
As I emerged It was very warm outside, so I looked for a place to rest near the wood, conveniently there was a bench just nearby and there it was set back a little bit in the shade, just out of the bright sunshine.

It was so nice to sit there under the shade of the trees and relax. Bees were humming and some butterflies were fluttering past. It was wonderful to get away from it all, even for an hour and this spot was a bit off the beaten path. Life has been so busy lately,  but hopefully I can now try to get out there again for a walk, and find another peaceful moment !

We all need that moment of solitude.
