Does one step down towards Eden 
or up? 
Frankly, either choice brings the same reward: lush flora 
within the confines of a terraced garden. 
Much like Eden, if you stray too far and breach the edges 
you will be sorely disappointed by the encircling paved road that mars Paradise and opens your eyes to an ordinary parking lot. 
Simply turn around 
and begin again. 
Reenter and enjoy. 
This beauty is ever waiting for your return, 
waiting for you to take the first step — 
again.

Take a walk with me by reading my daily devotional book, Meditations on Mendocino by Sondra Sula. Available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle versions.
If you’d prefer a daily river walk, Reflections on the Fox River and Beyond by Sondra Sula, might just be the book for you.

Even if we are not able to see the (Eden like beauty) beauty now, when we have accepted Jesus as our Savior, we are guaranteed to when we die and go to heaven!! Looking forward to it!!
Thank you for finding beauty for us.
