While walking through this exotic place I am filled with amazement and awe. This place is constructed so beautifully. I really love how almost anywhere you walk, you are joined by a tiny stream that flows into lasger pools and waterfalls. The bright orange fish swim so rapidly in these pools, searching for food or some other means of existence. The plants provide this area with color and life. Each plant down to each leaf contributes something to form this special place. Walking under and over the bridges really helps me to feel like I am really in true nature. It helps me to block out the other sounds beyond the garden. The air here seems very fresh. I really do love this place and I would definitely like to return in the future. This past week was pretty busy and at one time I had some issues come up that really upset me, but being here helps to clear my head. The garden is communicating to me peace. And it reminds me to take one thing at a time and try not to get so overwhelmed. I feel as I am sitting here, that I am being re-energized and nourished in a spiritual sense. I sit here and feel eternally grateful for what God has provided me to experience using all of my senses. I have a very hard time relaxing so knowing of a place like this is a real encouragement for when I get stressed out. I watch the other visitors walk by with their families and friends and I wonder how this garden affects them. Right now I am sitting in front of a waterfall. And it looks as though the water is flowing right out of the trees. The constant splash of the water is peaceful and soothing. It too helps to block out other noises beyond the garden. I look at the bridges and see them as links to other extrordinary areas here. I also really enjoy the trees that hang over me, for they somewhat resemble a canopy. It symbolizes shelter and protection. An atmosphere to escape to when the city becomes overwhelming. I feel in a sense that I am somewhere tropical and I await to see a colorful toucan fly in the sky with his huge beak. One of the only things that is a constant distraction for me is the humid weather today, but that is Texas for ya! WOW!! What a place! I mean really, this is nothing as I expected. But to be here is a true blessing and a gift. I hope that I will take advantage of it to its fullest extent now and in the future.Return to Discussion Forum Index
