Today I took a walk. The winter woods had a fresh skiff of snow. I saw the adventures of Mr. Fox, a rabbit, and a deer as I followed their tracks. I discovered their secret travels all over the woods. The stream laughed as it tumbled over rocks. The crows complained about my presence with their sharp warning "Caw, Caw, Caw!" A jay scolded as I hiked past. In the distance I heard the muffled hoot of an owl.
I was disconnected from the busy rush of the world and it's troubles. No text messages, no calls, no TV or radio news. It was wonderful. I was connected to another world. It matters not what the troubles of the day may be nature carries on with her work.
I took my peaceful moment with me and cherished it, savored it, and enjoyed it. I found myself resting in the knowledge that God is sovereign and He will carry on his purposes. "Let not your heart be troubled for I have overcome the world".
How do you disconnect?
