Nature Still Lives

Walking up the mountain in my mind, stopping to touch a blossom or bush along the way, a forgiving feeling of nature filling me totally. Loving the scenery, being atop the world, nothing get- ting in my way, peaceful and yet quietly alive through nature. Such splendor and glory come only from God's creations, always shining in our world even though now it's filled with the ugliness of evil and corruption. There is no ending to the sins of humanity, yet nature still lives through it all and fills our sight with the beauty of God's wonder.
