An Unusual Tree

There is a tree in the woods that stands out above all others, where I frequently visit for my nature walk. It is a tree that is unusual because it does seem to belong, as if from another world. It blooms of wild flowers that attract the bees, and bear 'fruits' that resemble a basketball in shape and in size. In its natural state of 'ugliness' is a beauty that boasts of the wonders of nature, the handiwork of God, a spectacle to behold and admire. Like grass of the fields and flowers of the wild that is alive today and gone tomorrow, this spectacle certainly reflects the great wonders of God's creation.

Matthew 6:26-30a (NAS)
Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? ... Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you?

Photos of Inspirational Nature Walk

As a writer I often make time to go for nature walks to think and to get inspiration from God. I walk in early morn in solitude with nature, to calm my inner spirit and to heighten my senses in listening, smelling, touching, feeling, and seeing.

I hear the birds chirping, the insects flying, and the sounds of waves hitting shore. I feel the breeze and wind caress my face. I smell nature and the fragrance of flowers in the air. I see falling leaves and flying birds and ants marching the floor endlessly without despair. I see chameleons crossing my path and I see squirrels climbing trees.

In nature I discover myself, a human being created to love nature and co-exist with others as well. In nature, I discover my inner love for writing, a longing desire ever growing, to pen my thoughts and share to the world, how great is our God, Who created us into being.
