I love how they start the morning on the roof right above my bed and call to one another.<br /><br />As always thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures.

Mindfulness and meditation groups would be good too. Some US companies are also bringing in plant based diet consultants as well.<br />Peace,<br />AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-31251912718552898732016-11-05T22:54:52.708-03:002016-11-05T22:54:52.708-03:00P.S.

I love them both. There is a family of crows in the back yard of where I am working now, a house I am painting. I take breaks and go outside, stand and watch the crows. They are very social, entertaining too!<br /><br />I've taken on another temporary job and it is in an office building that has very few windows, none in the large main room. After being there about 3 hours, I announced I need to go outside for a few minutes. I need to see some trees. My comment wasn't premeditated, it just popped out. People laughed but I don't think it occurs to them that they are seeing NO GREEN, NO NATURE during the many hours they spend in that office. As soon as I walked out the door, I was better. Trees everywhere. I appreciated them being there, reviving me.<br /><br />Forests are special places. Beautiful pictures.

I would like to go there every day but by the time when I come home it is already dark in this time of the year. Maybe in some years I will be also able to live simpler life with less anticipation in this crazy and super-fast mainstream way of life and be in the woods every day. I am doing everything I can to reach that as soon as possible and your posts encourage me that this is the right thing to do. Thank you!

When I go with nature things feel right in a physical way, no worries and no rushing. Nature doesn't rush for late summer, for the harvest. Winter comes and goes.<br />I now unplug myself from the consumer world. I wonder what must have felt like to view and live in nature without distractions. This is such a wonderful way to live, once you get past all cravings for the imaginary world. We eat a simple diet based on the Chan monastic tradition and this helps to reduce the craving.<br />Love the photos, found myself just looking at trees the other day and the falling leaves, isn't this planet amazing.<br />Peace,<br />AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
