No words come to me to describe it.
This sacred place.
The delicate and fragrant understory.
Light dappling through lacy leaves.
River dancing over mossy rocks.
The boys walk ahead.
Douglas Firs tower.
The river sings.
I linger
And weep.
There is a beauty that is mine.
How did it get here?
Into my soul
Rapturous.
Only here.



oh so beautiful…
so gorgeous, I’m so happy for you
Beauty and rapture – rare and precious gifts. Lovely.

Leaving that place hurt like losing a loved one to death.
I’m so happy for you though even in my own longing
*hugs*
lingering and weeping and rapturous, all good.
your words are simply beautiful & so are the pictures.
Amazing! Isn’t it wonderful to be surrounded by all that glorious green?
Oh, I love this post… beautiful words. It would be perfect for ‘Friday’s Nature Table’… I’d be honored if you’d pop over and post it for today.
Blessings and magic.
