~ Landscape ~
Landscapes have something calming about them. Certainly, they change their clothes from time to time. Nevertheless, you can feel their depth and the calming element. They have inhabited the earth much earlier than a human face ever has. The height and depth of the trees, the mystical of the mountains, the vastness of the waters. Everything touches you intensely if you take the time for it. And the more time we spend in nature for the contemplative activity, the quieter it becomes around us and within us. We begin to build an intimate relationship with her. Calm and serenity return even in the wildest of landscapes.
