I walk in the forest and listen to it. No distractions, no ipods, just me and nature and a pack on my back. I am looking for a place, a place to sit, a place to meditate and find a place of bliss with my God and with creation around me. Do i ever reach this place i so long for and desire? Is my journey ever fulfilled by my arrival to this state and place of peace, contentment and harmony? Well the answer i would have to say is yes and no. As the journey is never ending, we all have to emerge from the forest or from our place of harmony and enter the world and do our business. So why bother then you ask? If one does not eat food and maintains a healthy diet then one becomes very sick or worse. So it is with this constant seeking of the place of harmony, joy, peace and contentment. Also i mentioned the forest only because there i can connect in a way that is deep and real and intimate but this is not the same for everyone of course. So choose your place and seek out times of refreshing that come from the Lord. (Acts 3:19)
Another thing i feel i should clarify is i mentioned a pack on my back. I go into the forest to loose the weight on my back from the bustle of the world but also i carry in my pack instruments of music that i may express joy and creativity in my refreshing time. There is a special blessing i find when alone and playing whether it be my shaman drum or didgeridoo or even my Angklung. Allowing the music that is inside of me express itself to God and to his creation around me is exhilarating which is just not found in the city.
