In Appreciation of the simple pleasures of life

Easter Morning!   Another day on my childhood  list of - best- time- of- year. Up early Awake with anticipation, I look forward to be where EVERYTHING is entirely set – faultless! flawless! ‘Seven Oaks’- my wooded joy! A Coffer of hidden treasures – big beautiful trees in all their splendour, Cushioned carpets of pine and soft green moss,   Fallen leaves, crisp crunchy. Delightful woody acorns, Pine cones, Curtains of delicate fern - All part of this Magical world! This was where I loved to be, where I’d love to be, every day ...but today was not every other day Today we were here to share dawn’s first rays... ...to watch as the sun gently, silently touched and cloaked the world in her glow and warmth. Here I’d be every Easter morning, Enchanted! Fascinated! Spellbound! Perhaps missing out on the true essence of the meaning of an Easter Sunrise Service then yet absorbing that something that reached down and unfailingly touched me. Something that so mesmerizingly captivated and charmed my childlike heart, - a serene calm -which, till today, makes me believe that there could be no place on earth more exquisite for a perfect Easter Sunrise. Today may we each find a place as beautiful in the recesses of our hearts and minds that draw us to our perfect spot keeping ablaze the sunrise of that first Easter morning everyday.
