Home is where the heart is

A December sky in painted canvas of dark and massive blue clouds.\

 Back in Bintulu.  Looking west I saw a December sky in painted canvas of heavy and massive  dark blue clouds.  They seem to promise more rain tonight.  Walking back from the hills, I walked past many columns of jungle green, islands of botanical interests and a feeling of freedom.  Truly living in the city chokes my being, and makes me yearn the fresh country air, the jungle footpath and an occasional orange dragonfly to greet me along the silent walk.  Here I find my spirit free to roam the landscape.  In my composed mind I say; home is where the heart is.

Steps closer to nature

Steps at Heliconia Valley area, separating  Zone C and D

 There is something energizing about walking the steps of nature.  To be close to the earth and to stand barefooted on the jungle footpath.  The earthing connection is immediately felt.  Every step you make you feel alive and jumpy.  Then you feel the awe and respect you forget to give Mother Nature.

Location: Heliconia Valley, between Zone C and D

 At Botanic Island One there are a series of these simple earthen steps that are built for the convenience of workers and visitors.  They lead to rest areas, benches, stools or cut down logs for much needed respite and relaxation.  I find abundant pleasure and deep-felt satisfaction sweeping these steps of fallen leaves and jungle litter.  The rustling sound is instant therapy and its cracking noise quietened the chaos of the outside world.   For once you are focussed with the love of nature and peace creeps in your tired mind. ...So, go and find steps closer to nature!
