To walk among flowers and breathe in their beauty,
To sit by a stream and soak in its calm,
To be covered at night by a blanket of stars,
To let the prothonotary warbler teach me its song.
The universe offers us opportunities to be amazed, intrigued, and appreciative. It is easy, though, in the business of life to become distracted by other things and not take notice of the wonder around us. To remain in a posture of wondering, to be an active wonderer, is part of my commitment with this blog.
There is so much to learn. There are endless tangible wonders to discover—enough to give one meaning for an entire lifetime.
What will you do this week to soak it in?
Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.
William Wordsworth
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.
Rachel Carson
