Astounding Beauty

The high stone walls that encompass the Scottish garden are cool this early morning. Tranquility abides and a soft mist lingers near the bell tower. Dewdrops are gently scattered on the buds and the fragrance of blossoming roses is ever sweet. Every variety imaginable has been planted. Faint yellows,vibrant oranges, glistening pinks, pure whites, and even some exotic blues. The beauty of the moment is astounding. Amidst the bushes is a bench picturesquely nestled off the path. You pause to rest and ponder as you inhale the heavenly air. The pace of life is all too rapid and how few places where solitude is felt are left. But on the grounds of this remote castle lies a whole new meaning of life. Here you are able to take a step back and enjoy that which our Creator has given.
