~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you listen to the wind, you will know the direction to go. If you plant your feet on the earth, you will know how to find balance. If you watch a flickering flame, you will learn to dance to your own beat. If you feel water in motion you will value going with the flow.

Yes, listen to nature, check the trees for direction. Technology has spoiled us.

I agree, Paul. Technology has spoiled us and detached us from nature's roots and understanding. Wishing you a splendid evening, Sara
