R E C I P R O C I T Y


Blossoming flowers and warming weather remind me of summer vacations soon to be. Winter, spring, summer, fall... the years cycle, birthdays pass, and hopefully we all become a little wiser through it all. 

Throughout the ages philosophers have said that now is the only time that matters. But somehow we get caught up in the rush of life, and forget...

We forget that a walk with Nature even if it's just to smell a flower or admire a tree, or rest in the sand by the ocean, is rejuvenating, making us more tolerant of 'human' Nature, our own as well as everyone else's!
 
Nature is always there to remind us that instead of lamenting about 'what was or what might be', we should enjoy today, not worry about tomorrow, nor cry over yesterday. They say we crawled out of the ocean. Do you think She misses us? If we can love Nature, can Nature love us back?


"Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."


Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)
