I've decided to post just a portion of it here and may comment on the rest of it at a later date: </i></b><br /><br />"I have been a reader of your blog for some time now and have enjoyed many of your posts for a variety of reasons. I often find what you think and experience resonates with many of my own thoughts and feelings . This is however the first time I have commented, but felt compelled to write, after reading about your recent experience while out in the wood sketching. In many respects I not only recognized myself in what you were feeling and tuning into in the environment, but also your observation about both the rarity of seeing others out walking or seeming to be seeking spiritual connection or real connection with the beauties and mysteries of that world. All of what you mention being my own experience when out walking, is quite similar, accurate and true. I am sure you must be very aware ...... that being of a creative nature , you will always be part of the minority(and of a group not easily or often understood by others not of that small group in society) and your deeper awareness and experience of all aspects of life , not just in respect to the natural world , will be often deeper and have more significance than it will will for many ,if not most other people."Matthew Slaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034225460518413306noreply@blogger.com
