The Scent of Pine

That smell that is present every spring this time in the woods, that pine scent. That's what I'm talking about, fresh clean soothing smell. Or is it just getting outside after a long winter that frees the soul and sets things straight. No matter, spring does have way of setting things straight.
Out in the woods you get natures remedy; quiet and soothing, some curious deer or watching swallows over a stream picking off mayflies. All for the mind and soul. Suddenly the busy world slows down and the important and unimportant stuff fall away. Leaving only the important stuff, the real important stuff. We are just part of a bigger world and around us is the marvel of nature and in spring we get this reassuring renewal.
