A view of a castle on a hill with a valley below

We gaze upon a lush countryside, painted in nature's splendid hues of emerald, jade, and humming forest green. Rolling hills stretch out before us, dappled in places with the drifting shadows of solitary clouds passing overhead in a bright azure sky. Contrasting strokes of yellow goldenrod and flaxen wheat ripple across the landscape—the bounty of summer ready to be harvested. In the valley below sits a charming Tudor village, the dark criss-cross timber framing of its cottages lending depth and balance to the overall composition. Their steeply pitched thatched roofs seem to echo the shapes of the distant mountains in lighter shades of straw and dun. Eyecatching highlights of sunlight glint off leaded glass windows, as spirals of hearthsmoke gently rise to blend all the elements together into this living, breathing scene. At the crest of a nearby hill outlined in forest green and russet brown, proud ancient oaks frame the delicate grey stone bell tower of the village church, where the faint echoes of hymns being sung within can almost be heard drifting on the breeze. Just along the path, two strong oxen cast deep earthy shadows on the pale dusty road as they pull a hay laden wagon towards the barn, the indentation of years of wagon wheels furrowing the landscape. Sheep graze calmly in the mid-ground upon a patchwork quilt of various fields lined by low stone walls, while in the distance we glimpse a regal manor house surfacing through the trees. Though still far off, we can discern the glint of lead-lined mullioned windows, fine brick chimneys, and even a fountain before the front portico hinting at prosperity yet balancing simplicity. Overall, a profound sense of community, connection, order and beauty permeates this idyllic countryside landscape. But there are greater inscrutable depths to be explored here through courage, questing curiosity, faithfulness and imagination...where are our eyes drawn next across this living canvas reflecting light and the human soul?
