While taking in this gorgeous view of which I literally took this unedited spur of the moment picture in the last couple of seconds, I realise the immensity of the impact this forest has on me.
Churning out a symphony of Sunbirds and Loeries dancing with the soft whooshing of the wind pushing through the trees, the forest is alive and oozing Oxygen.
Have you ever noticed people inhale deeply when they take in a natural view of any kind? Some even find a bench and exhale longer than normal when sitting down.
As an ocean lover/addictee, forest retreating is a necessity. Having this stillness heightens the senses, accentuating the need for complete restoration in the quiet way.
Connecting with God in the stillness unlocks self-imprisonment and empties emotional storages of the worst kind.
And then, just as an added benefit, to inhale pure Oxygen from the source, refreshes all nerve endings, sending relaxed vibes to the vagus nerve.
All I can say is I came home with creative juices of the forest kind and a revitalised spirit. This Forest Valley has earned an annual spot in my diary.
God's not only got this, He's got you too.
