Adventures in Good Company

This past weekend, my family and I spent our Earth Day planting new spring flowers, recovering the beds in mulch, and enjoying all the wonderful sights, sounds, and smells of springtime. We look ahead to our coming weekend as we begin planning our menus and activities for a weekend of camping at Fort Mountain in the mountains of North Georgia. I adore this time of year, and as I contemplated what I should write for the Adventures in Good Company blog this month, I am reminded of last weekend and the one to come and how we celebrate and enjoy our natural world. I love every aspect of this glorious planet and all the creatures in it, and hope to instill that love not only in my children but those people that I come into contact with on my trips and on a day to day basis. I decided this month, the best way to share my love for this world was to share a wonderful poem with you.

In Tune With Mother Nature

If you listen for the songbirds
As they greet the summer sun,
And love the way the wind can make
The trees sings just for fun;

If you like to hear the ocean
As it drums upon the shore,
And imagine all the whales out there,
And hope they'll sing some more;

If you think of all the animals
As players in a band,
Each with a lovely tune to play,
All needed on the land;

And know that as a boy or girl
A woman or a man
You have a vital role to play
In Mother Nature's plan;

If you honor every living thing
As a part of nature's treasure
You're in tune with Mother Nature
So let's all sing her song together.

Spend quality time in a spectacular place, where true health is more than a strong body. It is fine-tuning the relationship between your body, mind and spirit to achieve fitness from the inside out.
I hope you feel inspired to spend sometime in the great outdoors. Dale Bowers
