My Labor Day Holiday


Serenity. Peace. Tranquility.  Of Mind and Heart.

As one sits on the porch one can only imagine life as it was during a simpler but yet more trying time.  To look across the street and view the houses amongst my own, forces my heart to seek the souls these houses capture and show forth with all they grandeur and opulence.

In mid-afternoon you can hear the patter of squirrels shimming up the trees; jumping from branch to branch finding their way home.  Birds fly and soar upward and out of As sight high amongst the clouds so lightly scattered in the pale blue sky.  The sound of children’s laughter and dogs barking only add to the reality that this is a viable, growing neighborhood; a community for all to enjoy.

Viewing the lush gardens, has moths and butterflies fluttering and frolicking amongst the tops of flowers in full bloom. Petals so vibrant in color and scent; they yearn for the sunlight to sustain their growth in the moist soil; soaked by a pounding downpour from the heavens.  The stillness after the rain with the outpouring of sunlight from the sky with scattered clouds bestows a banquet for all living creatures and vegetation. 

Such a scene provides food for ones mind to accept everything around oneself as what should be is to be at this very time and no other.  The mind feeds the heart a bouquet of senses which create the Serenity, Peace and Tranquility  so sought after by an anguished mind due to man’s inability to accept what is and live according to the Laws of Nature.

Peace resides within in Oakwood because its neighbors see what life should be and not what it actually is.
