Looking Out the Car Window

Nature

What is nature there for, if not to embrace us when people fail us. In the car, coming back from the village my son is staying for the summer, I was listening to my favourite music in my earphones and looking at the hills, plains, trees. Especially, what caught my eye was a big, leafy, shady tree, its branches touching the ground and really making up a little tepee. It looked so inviting, I just wanted to go in and rest after the exhaustion of the last 5 months. That moment, in the car, I felt happy and peaceful because I maybe silly (very often) and naive (occasionally) but I am not unreliable, I am not insensitive and I am not a liar (almost never). In a previous post, sometime in June, I was terrified by the fact that we must find security in ourselves. I dreaded that thought because me, myself and I is a dangerous combination. But now, this thought is so soothing. We can always fall back on ourselves whoever we are. At least, that is the way I’ve found. Some people say the are Christians and I never said I was. I am not even particularly religious. But I know, this is part of my religion, and  Christian enough.

    Indeed I believe when we are alone either traveling or in our homes, without anyone else, we have time to sift through our thoughts which can brings us inner peace or some sort of reconciliation with some part of ourselves.
    Does that make sense?

    You really have no idea how much sense this makes. When you feel a fool, nobody can convince you you are not a fool, but yourself.
    Take care

    On a second thought, what crap did i write in that blog. Nature is there to comfort us and all that. Who am I? Thoreau writing Walden? Jesus.
