Take a trip back to nature, far removed from the everyday. Appreciate a brilliant blue sky with a sun, as full and round as an orange bursting with delicious juice, on display. Notice how the trees grow tall with courage and strength, so bold. And hear the birds chirping merrily at home amongst the foliage of green and gold.

Simple things to appreciate, but in essence their collective energy does more for a humble soul on earth than all the glitter of a man-made sphere.

Keep grounded in the moment and elevate your mind. Use your senses for the finest sensations you can find. Seek out purity and environments unspoiled. Leave no trace of your own humanity when you depart so that it may be enjoyed by others subsequently.

If you’re feeling disillusioned, sapped of vitality, give yourself a natural lift, a spiritual unity with nature as it was meant to be. You may find, if you stay a reasonable length of time, that you begin a healing opportunity where toxins of old are released spasmodically. And this is good, so welcome it, and let it run its course. Keep your fluids up and rest, but otherwise do not intervene with drugs of any kind.

What is more important, the dazzling lights of illusion and a fantasy all but fulfilled, or your health and joy amongst nature amply revealed? Make the effort now to look after your basic needs. Listen to your body and take care of the fundamental things. For, in so doing, you will extend your life and gain greater satisfaction day by day.

Whatever age you are today know that in so few years hence there will be nothing left of you other than your contribution made to others well.
