"The Other Side of the Gate" by Jim Yackel

In the stillness of the early morning our minds can wander. It seems that it is in those times of placidity that our minds are as hands touched by our souls - taken and being led - and we find ourselves before  majestic mountains resplendent  in greenery and likewise showered with snow; below breathtaking multi-hued twilight skies.






Have you seen rolling hills where green grass and all manner of flowers grow? Have you stood in awe before a gate, waiting to walk a narrow path bordered by trees with leaves of blue, purple, red, green, and gold? They are as willows, oaks, birches and more; but autumn is not the reason for the colorful if not unusual display of leaves.

Babbling brooks with cool water flow below these trees in diverse places; waterfalls rush down low hills as these streams originate as springs from the mountains that line a close horizon. As you move now, you encounter a different place; a meadow of tall golden grasses that sway on a gentle, warm breeze. A short distance out into the meadow there is a colossal oak tree that stands alone, between where you rest and the mountains that line the near horizon - but while that tree appears to be alone it is hardly so. And while you appear to be alone where you are, you sense that you are hardly alone and in that sense you are correct.(more here)
