in the shadow of your wings

You are looking at a picture of one of my favorite places, if not the favorite place for me to be. For some reason here I can be still. At home I can't seem to do that, there is always something that needs to be done. But here I can let my mind wonder. No jokes, of course I have a wondering mind, I have three small children -Jeffrey calls me random- that's not the kind of wondering I mean. I'm talking about just peaceful relaxing of the mind. I lay here and stare up into the branches above me, feeling the breeze all around my body and listening to the birds and frogs in the distance. Being around God's gently quiet creations relaxes me. There is only one thing that would have made this picture perfect.
