Peace zone

This is a zone of peace. Kind of a labyrinth, those walks of contemplation and acceptance. We can come here to simply be, to leave thoughts or take thoughts & ideas. There are no judgements, no advice, just peace. Like a peaceful, remote labyrinth in a garden on a hillside below a canyon among the mountains.

I find peace within nature... listening to the birds on a spring day like today, or the crickets on a warm summer night.

What a beautiful space, took me right to neutral and zen. Thank you.
I love walking labyrinths. Peace.

Nature and music are great together. Look up Dan Gibson's Solitudes. He paired the sounds of nature with extremely soothing music. It was a long time ago, but if you can find them, they are great for relaxing.

Thank you for this! I found some of his music!

Sitting out on the patio swing and listening to the croaking frogs in the tank and with a bit of breeze and ice tea in hand. Watching as the Sun goes down and night falls and seeing the stars and Moon come up.

Thank you @KM76710 that’s beautiful and comforting.

I find peace and joy and discover who I truly am in the service of others.

I woke up, it was still dark. I heard the pitter-patter of a gentle rain falling outside my window.

I am envious. I live just south of Seattle. I can sit in my yard and listen to the roar of traffic and hardly see any stars because of light pollution. Just not the same.

@SillyOldBear I hope you can drive around to the west and north, and visit the Ho Rain Forest. It is sublimely quiet and one of the loveliest places to walk, or sit and listen.

Listen

One of Gordon Hempton’s recordings from a rainforest.

quiet

I went out this morning before dawn to view and sit with Jupiter and Venus in the east horizon, they are so vividly lit right now.

The Ho Rainforest is fantastic. Have not been there for a while, but it is so quiet. And so green. Moss hanging from trees everywhere. And a lot of solitude as not many people go there. I MUST go again soon. Thanks for planting the idea in my mind.

Rainforests in the US? I didn’t recall any.
Did my research & learned!
Fun Fact: I have even been to one. 🤦‍♀️😂 Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on The Big Island.

One day we were at an orphanage in (now) South Sudan. We had worked & played with the children all day. We all lingered not wanting to leave. We ached to stay longer. As nightfall approached, we visitors crawled into our limousine. — the back of a dump truck. We waved goodbye as the children sang for us. My heart was filled with love & wonder. I held on tightly as we bounced on the dirt trail making our way back to our compound. Then. I glimpsed the night sky. I was mesmerized. Never have i seen such beauty. The sparkling night sky was so vivid and spectacular. I felt as though i could reach out and pluck a star to marvel at. The wonder of discovery filled my soul.
Absolute peace.

Running along the estuary yesterday I went within a few yards of 8 enormous but adorable white & black pelicans.

Hawaii Volcanoes NP is amazing 🌴🌋

Olympic NP in Washington state has rainforest as well. From a trip I took in 2011

Some thread-appropriate music (I think)
