The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
I took this picture in the picturesque village of Gevrey-Chambertin in Burgundy last week as we were walking down a path through vineyards on our way to dinner. The gardens of the homes were lovely, and the fragrance of this rose enhanced our walk...Wishing you many walks in Peace!
Mmm...could almost catch that scent thru the computer !

My daily two hour walks by the ocean with the sound of the waves as my mantra has restored my inner balance. Nature shows us how to live.

Great photo and a reminder to be present as you walk and enjoy the surroundings. I agree with Joe Pryor nature shows us how to live and it also helps us to restore balance in our lives.
