Yet loneliness and solitude are a source of hope in themselves, and each of us will want to lay down our lives at the end of the day. A concert meditation building from the murmur of a singing spring deep in the woods of the Wyoming State Forest in northern Pennsylvania. Dan Mason originally created Springbrook as an environment for the very different Hail Mary of Paul Wrynn. You are in a meadow under tall trees of conifer and pine. A gentle breeze stirs their countless needles and brings a freshness of life to the forest below.
Birds salute the quiet with songs of presence and purpose.
The spring has pushed up from beneath the earth - then trickles its way to a larger stream down below the visible ridge. Life is like this everywhere. Waters find restful places and then move on, called somehow - destined, eternal. Imagine yourself carried along on a rushing river whose waters hurry through the curved arms of surrounding farm and field. You leave the river and enter a clearing where you pause to listen.
