Nature is such a great thing. As a spiritual person who is deeply into meditation, I love being outside. I still even swing outside as a full-grown adult. I’m also a musician, so I deeply enjoy going down by the river or other places in nature with a musical instrument, and I play my instrument out in the nature, and sometimes I sing while playing the instrument while the nature is also singing with me.

LOVE that!

Another thing I do every day, it’s a strict part of my schedule. I make myself a hot drink, and I go outside on my porch with it, and I listen to a meditation song. It’s called Morning Peace. It fits the mood so well.

that sounds wonderful!
