 These little stories will hopefully help the shy, the desperate, and the lonely. For if people came out of their homes to see and hear the beauty that surrounds them, they may retain a potency that could last forever; for nature has a unique ability to bypass the gatekeepers of the mind and go directly to the emotions, for nature is the purest portal to inner peace.

Through the power of mindfulness, my journey has clearly shown me that if a person does not keep pace with others, perhaps it’s because they hear a different drummer, so let them step to the music which they themselves hear — however measured or far away.


If these little stories delight your mind or you have found some beauty in any word or line then please could you spare a moment to place a comment with your thoughts.

Kind regards, afarawayfellow

AUGUST – The Mute Season

It is now early August, the lanes and the woods are silent, without the pellucid sound of birds singing. Only the yellowhammers in the hedgerows are with song.

I began to tune in to the sound of my steps, feel the wind, the sound of the swaying branches. My mind makes space for what is to come.

All my life I have been inspired by the beauty of nature and for a long time I have enjoyed the peace and spiritual enlightenment which only the contact with nature can bring.  Every day I was taken on a spiritual journey to a different place where I was never judged or demised, a place where I had a sense of self worth, a place of belonging.

Pondering through the little episodes of my life helps me to realise that many things exist in life that we don’t really see, hear or even understand.  It bespeaks life’s involvement with nature and the wonderful gift that comes free to us all.  Through mindfulness we become aware that real life is measured by the breaths we do not take, those breath-taking moments of wonder.
