Wish I could be there . . .

Wish I was here today instead of folding piles of laundry. Running off of coffee and chocolate chip cookies. Although my kids cherish my knowledge of light sabers and the days of the week, it would be nice to take a deep breath of fresh mountain air and exhale a the stress I feel.
I would like to leave it all behind today. The constant noise and intrusions to my mind. The interruptions of sales calls and worries over finances.
Humans would have a lot less depression and anxiety if we were all promised a whole day out in nature, at least once a week, leaving all that man has tried to replace nature with. They have tried in vain. Nothing can replace the feeling of being alone in the forest, without a sound. You can hear the beating of your own heart and you're reminded of your humble state again on earth. You realize you are merely dust and someone, something, far greater then yourself has provided such incredible beauty that no man made thing can substitute for. Unfortunately so many of us are forced to pass it by each day. We're too busy to see.
