Petworth, Sussex, July 2020

A weary soul in need of rest
A walk with God in the countryside 
A short drive to the south downs
To walk and take in nature.  

Our walk around Petworth 
Starts inside the town
Historic and dramatic, 
The walls of the estate,
proudly standing tall. 

Into the country we go,
The rolling hills and woodland,
Breathing in the beauty,
Resting in the woodland shade.

The thing about nature,
Is you cannot compare yourself to it,
There is no jealously from flower to flower. 
You accept the individuality,
And find the beauty within.  

With nature there is no black and white,
No discrimination but lots of diversity,
You accept each flower, tree and animal,
Not ovethinking,
Purpose and individuality. 

Sometimes our souls 
Just need to be refreshed,
And we need to look at others like we look at nature. 
No judging just accepting 
And let God do his thing
By his Holy Spirit,
Let us be creative
So we can accept indivuality 
And blossom and bloom like nature.

“In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.”

Alice Walker
