Stolen Moment It's a long time I visited the wilderness at the back of my house. I always have a lot to do .Besides the house-hold chores,I have to do shopping and gardening. I spend a lot of time at the internet too. Today,the weather is just fine. There is a breeze too and making such a journey perfect. I took my walk down a grassy path. I won't be gone for more than an hour, I told myself. I'll be back to work at my unfinished poem. My hesitant steps took me outside my house. I breathed in the air and busy took in the greens around me. A rustling in the leaves made me pause and wonder what was hidden from view. I kneeled down and spotted a tiny insect, bright red in color creeping away at the approach of my steps. I wanted very much to say hello to it , but I felt it liked to be left alone. I ran to the edge of some trees.The scent of a warm , tropical wild garden wafted to me as the gentle breeze blew. I greeted the wilderness with a big smile. How good this all is ! My worldly cares and worries vanish.God must be somewhere very near. I am very sure. Agatha Lai
