"Our task must be to free ourselves by
widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole
of nature and its beauty." - Albert Einstein
Easily we get caught up in the ills and hustle n bustle of this world that we forget to take the time to appreciate and see God's beauty in nature around us.
Take the time to notice the beauty of nature around you. Thich Nhat Hanh once said, "People usually
consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real
miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.
Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue
sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own
two eyes. All is a miracle."
This is a picture I took of a flower at Cal State L.A. last summer. Its not the best of qualities, but it's the quality time that went in to appreciate, stop, take a step forward and amidst all the hustle smell the roses. Live in the moment. Put your troubles in perspective, slow down and enjoy the beauty of life.
"Smile, breathe and go slowly." - Thich Nhat Hanh
