Take the time today to really notice and
appreciate the beauty that surrounds you. Sometimes we go through whole days without
really tuning in to the beauty of nature that surrounds us. We have a habit
of seeing it without really taking it in, yet once we begin to notice it we
treat ourselves to an exquisite realm of subtle, complex scents, miraculous
forms, and ethereal light. The natural world enriches our entire being
through the vehicles of our senses. When we are low, nature lifts our
spirits. When we are tired, it rejuvenates us — if we pause long enough to
drink from its beauty. If you have fallen out of the practice of taking time
to observe the light as it filters through the leaves of a tree, or the
concentric rings a raindrop makes as it plops into a puddle, you can retune
yourself by dedicating a day to noticing the beauty in nature. On this day, one possibility is to rise
early enough to see the sunrise. Watching the sky change colors and the world
emerge from darkness is an experience that will influence the whole rest of
your day in ways that words cannot describe. Or simply observe the quality of
the morning light as it infuses the world with its particular pale golden
beauty. You may let the light play on your own hand, remembering that you are
also part of the natural world. Let your intuition guide you to the elements
of nature that call to you throughout the day, such as the sound of the wind
as it shakes and sways a tree or the feeling of snowflakes landing on your
warm eyelids and cheeks. After you devote one day to opening your
eyes more fully to the beauty of nature, you may want to make this part of
your daily routine. Each day drink from the beauty all around you, and allow
it to rejuvenate your entire being. All you have to do is pause, for just one
minute, and really take it in, remembering to thank Mother Nature for her
beauty. |
