REFUGE is a beautiful place to take a quiet, contemplative walk. It is a national wildlife preserve that takes great care of its land, waters, wildlife and plants. I have wonderful memories of this special place. While my children were growing up, we came here often. Many friends and relatives have walked these paths, enjoying the views and wildlife sightings. I came here often to meditate, contemplate, pray and enjoy the peace and quiet. Since I no longer live close to this wonderful, special place, I often see it in my mind's eye and recreated this vision in REFUGE.
