Rainbowzz,

What a lovely, insightful post and following thread!

I am EXACTLY like you. T even took me to a small strip of woods in therapy to do some work there. Nature means so much to me. See, I used to "escape" into nature. It was not only my solace but it was my safety.

With all the stress in my life right now, I've been wanting to go back to Red River Gorge...me and nature. I'll get there.

The closest I've ever felt to what I consider Heaven was when we stayed in a little bed and breakfast snuggled in the Smokies. To hike, or sometimes just sit in my back yard in the grass brings me a peace, but to be absorbed by nature brings Heaven to me. Does that make sense?

Thank you for this post.
