Frosty cold walk this morning … My face nearly froze! The nature art show made it worth it though … 💛💙💛💙

Amazing nature art show this morning. It looks like the trees are cradling the sun. And the sun looks as if it’s smeared into the clouds. Beautiful! 🌲☀️🌤💚💛

I sure hope you enjoy the nature photographs I share here! If you are moved and inspired to do so, I’d be deeply grateful if you’d like to “Buy Me a Coffee” ….. – Camilla

An inspiring two hours with this view, watching the sun set, sipping tea, and chatting with two incredibly dear friends.

Wonderful and COLD walk this afternoon. Brrrr! Nature is the perfect reset button for me. Deeply grateful. 🙏💙

Welcoming committee of one this afternoon as I crossed one of the foot bridges. Cutest lil rubber duckie with a message to go with the flow and be in the moment as that’s where the power exists and is available.

Ian Moran and Anne Weasley … I thought of Susan and just know this was her way of hugging me and happy dancing. She must know something I don’t! 💛💛💛🧡🧡🧡

The Path of the Heart by Camilla Downs

November 17 2018:

The Path of the Heart

The path back home
seems littered with
suffering and struggle.

What is this insane
ability to cause
one self such suffering?

Suffering by way of the
thoughts that dart
here and there,
at times stabbing
the soul as if they
were a cold, sharp knife.

When one golden day
the tides of change
bring ….
