I also like to stare at the blue sky with beautiful clouds ever changing as I observe from my deck. Nature has always been a peaceful place for me - to rest and consider all that God has made.
I have a very distinct memory that I have used as a calming focal point in my adult life. A group of neighborhood boys had built a fort in a gully located in a wheat field. I remember lying on my back looking at the blue sky and smelling the ripening wheat in the early afternoon sun. Such a great feeling of being that I’ll always remember.
Experiences like that, simple, natural ones, seem to find their way to an accessible place in the memory with the power to elicit the very same feelings every time they are accessed. I am thinking that most of us have a collection of them.
