Over the stream and through the woods to the opposing hillside, there is a small grove of White Pine with a view overlooking the stream and back from whence you came. It has some large stones for sitting, a soft sloped pine needle floor, a sweet fragrance, and a lot of peace and quiet. A great place to sit and think.
The meditation spot is on a path that meanders through the woods, sometimes following an old logging road, and forms a quiet walk through the woods in a loop, returning to the entry point in a small clearing where we have recently planted more Sugar Maples.
The meditation spot...
and the downhill view in summer. One can hear the stream gurgling, but not see it.
