A Prelude To Paradise

Tweet

I almost did not make this post simply because the pictures didn't come out; they were too dark. So I suppose I'll just have to do my best in describing the scene. Recently my husband and I spent time relaxing at one of the lovely state parks in our area. The parking lot at the entrance of the park was not overly crowded but there were some guests. As my husband walked towards the grassy area near the river, I was actually walking toward him from the opposite direction. This was because I had gotten a head start but turned around to go back to him so that we could walk in together. That's when he noticed it then quickly brought it to my attention: Right there, no more than 15 feet away from us, not one, not two, not three but 4 beautiful deer! They were not the least bit frightened even though there were people around. Likely, they were very used to this. My husband and I were absolutely amazed at, not only the beauty of these delicate creatures but also how close we were to them. They were very small, most likely females. What a rare treat that was. To think that the original purpose of life was to be able to interact with all kinds of animals like that. It's also nice to reflect on the hope that one day, the original purpose of life will be a reality.
