'The Route Back'

Oil on Linen Panel
I count myself very lucky to live close to areas of natural habitat. Here in North Norfolk we have large stretches of unspoilt coast and marshes and pockets of non agricultural countryside, rivers and woods. At times of personal crises, stress and malady spending time in nature has sustained me and seem me through. My belief (and experience) is that the closer we are to the rhythm of nature the healthier we are in mind body and soul. Its my route back. Nowadays my routine is to steal a march on the day and rise early to walk to the dogs in the countryside whatever the weather - I am rarely disappointed that I did. Here is a short video taken at dawn this morning, what a way to start the day . . . . Lucky Old Me.
And then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?
Vincent van Gogh
