The Impact of Beauty

Aspen leaves on the forest floor are paths of gold

I can smell this photo. If you’ve ever stopped on a trail to take in some view, or smell, or bird sound, you know how it can ground you in reality. To be fully present in the wilderness is important to human life.

Especially for children who live in the city, there is an awakening available in the woods. This morning mist settling on fresh golden leaves, and the silence and smell of it, can be a moment of aliveness the city cannot provide.

Is there a place you go to find this connection to your soul? Come park your car at Camp Rosalie and lock your phone inside. Put your feet in the stream, feel the breeze on your face, and breathe deep. You’ll need to because we’re at 9000 ft. (:
