Blissful Solitude

blissful solitude

I find myself in a deep state of bliss in solitude. When I am surrounded by nature I don’t feel alone. When I look out into a sea of flowers I see the gift of life and the beauty of humanity. When I feel wind blow through my hair and caress my skin, I am reminded that I am alive. I am reminded to breathe deep and feel the fresh, crisp air fill my lungs and flow through my mind, body, and soul. When I look out and see mountains standing big and tall, I don’t feel so small anymore. I feel equally as strong and big. When I see the sunset on the horizon, out in the deep blue sea, and the sky’s colors transform to hues of orange, pink, and purple, as it transitions to night, I am reminded of my own ability to change and shift wind as time goes on. When I see the moon begin to appear beyond the horizon and she shines her radiant light, I see myself. She is surrounded by darkness but that darkness allows her to shine even brighter. The darkness does not define her, nor does it diminish her beauty, it empowers her. Yet she is not alone, around her are more stars than could ever be counted. When I look at the night sky covered and speckled with stars, I see all my blessings. I see the multitude of people and experiences that have impacted my life in my past, present, and future. When I am in nature, I feel immense gratitude, abundant happiness, and peace.
