Ecclesiastes 3 :1-8

(New International Version)

A Time for Everything

There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace.

In all seasons I set forth and spend some time walking. I walk for peace of mind. I walk for health. I walk for the joy of communing with nature. I often walk the same path once or twice in a week. Always i carry my camera. I pause at intervals to ''capture'' the same scene.
