Walk

I just went for a walk today in a conservation park near my home. It is nice in its own way, a bit small, but full of trees and plenty of out of the way places to sit in quiet reflection. I brought my camera, as I usually do, and did not see anything worth taking notice of. I walked on a bit more reciting a favotite poem in my head over and over. Further and further I get into the dark woods, when i notice a ray of sunlight shining thru the gloom onto a single lonesome sapling. That is the picture you see above. I have not altered this photo in any way, I uploaded it from the camera just as i took it. Alone in a dark and lonesome place this little tree should thrive. Out of the darkness, there is always a ray of light, a glimmer of hope. I was very happy to have been at this spot at this time. The universe has a way of leading us to things we need when we are in need of them!
