Lake Nevin Trail

This Bernheim trail in fall is a wonderful place to be. The chill in the air is tempered by the warming fingers of the morning sun . As the birds welcome natures change with their antics , the squirrels busily scamper about storing up for winters coming. The hardwood forest has carpeted the path with fallen leaves of many golden hues. Its a moment in time filled with so many parables of our own lives and our own journeys . Its a safe place to leave drama that often weighs us down. Here the enlightened traveller can see natures scenes are always calling us to lighten our load , take inventory and find renewal. It is no accident that up ahead and center the light has fallen upon the tree .

Here the leaves of fall take on the golden color of the setting sun. Not only above but upon the forest floor they gently lay. The striking forest hues continue on deep into this beautiful expanse. Fall in the natural should also correlates to the fall of our lives , in that our golden years should be as resolutely and solemnly complete . The bench a gentle reminder that here in this cathedral of grandeur we can sit , rest and leave the encumbrances that so easily entangle us along our journey home.
