A World Full of Wonder by Darlene Beck Jacobson

 Last month I had the chance to travel to the Pacific Northwest to see the Oregon coast and visit the coastal Redwoods in California. Words are not adequate to describe the sense of awesome wonder and breathtaking beauty I was lucky to witness. 

The rugged yet inviting coastline tells a story that transcends time and makes a person feel insignificant alongside such majesty.

Walking through the redwood forest left me speechless.

 

As I nestled in the comforting arms of a giant tree, I felt such peace. Such wonder. And so close to God. It had the majesty and sacred feel of a cathedral with the tall, straight tree trunks reaching to the sky. 

 

 

 

 

Nature is an inspiring place filled with such wonder if we choose to stop for a moment and let it surround us and fill us with it's grandeur.  

 

If you're looking for inspiration for writing, look no further than the natural world. And don't be afraid to look up.

 

When you look up, there are no limits to where imagination can take you.
