A Sacred Moment

Yesterday I was walking through the forest here in this beautiful Pacific Northwest when I came upon an especially beautiful spot that made me stop.

The feeling was as if someone had tapped me on the shoulder and said, "I am with you." There was a feeling of overwhelming love coming from the canopy of the trees.

I looked up to see layers of maple and cedar branches with necklaces of hanging moss all interwoven to create a roof of variegated green.  Ferns carpeted the floor of this quiet sacred space. The only sounds were that of the birds and insects in the surrounding vegetation.

I stood there for several minutes looking up, not into the canopy, but into my own grateful heart, feeling peace and love pass through me and out into the world.

It's moments such as this that remind me that I am not alone, but guided and protected every step of the way through this lifetime.
