The Lake and Oak Tree

The Lake and Oak Tree

This is an interesting story.. visualize yourself as the main character in this story.. You find yourself on a lovely trail.. early before the sun has risen..  the sun is attempting to rise up into the sky.. the light is phenomenal with the soft.. pastel colors spreading across the sky.. the morning light grows with each passing moment.. as the veil between the dark of the night and the light of the day fade.. the daylight begins to spread it’s wings.. to brighten the world.. just as it does every morning.

You love this particular trail.. you have been on this walk many times.. you have been here in all the seasons of the year.. now.. today.. it is spring.. you walk along.. with each step you take.. you relax more and more.. You walk for quite some time.. you come to the entrance to the lake.. this new path goes completely around the lake.. it’s not such a large lake.. you can walk around the whole lake in just a few hours.. you walk along.. knowing there are four huge boulders on the path ahead.. the rocks are about five feet wide.. maybe six feet tall.. you approach the rocks.. you put your left hand out.. you run the back of your left hand along the back of the first rock.. the surface is smooth.. you feel the smoothness.. thinking these rocks have been sitting next to one another for probably millions of years.
