What Surrounds You? Part 2

Photo from Photo Express - Civetta

Continued from yesterday – do you live or work in a big city? Do you live or work near the beauty nature has to share?  Many people do live in the midst of beauty.  So, if you live by majestic ocean waters, if you drive by phenomenal mountain views every day, if you can take a long walk in a beautiful woodland, do you pay attention?  Do you see the beauty right before you?  It is just as easy to overlook it when it is right in front of you as when you live in a city and it is more challenging to uncover. 
Take the time to breathe the fresh air.  Take time to notice the flowers, the trees, the animals, and those around you.  Stop and appreciate the joy that surrounds you.  Be loving, mindful and compassionate towards all of it.  You are just as beautiful, but what surrounds you is just as important as you and your fellow humankind.  Be open to your inner joy and love and share it with the world.
