Connect with nature

I grew up with a father who loved the great outdoors. He passed on this gift to me and it has become a source of strength and guidance throughout my life. Connecting with nature reminds me of the Walt Whitman quote, “With every leaf a miracle.” To make a statement like this, one would need to be observant of life in all it’s magnificence.

When is the last time you took a pause and reconnected with nature? Do you find yourself anxiously engaged in so many projects that there is no time to sit on the grass and feel the texture against your skin? Do you recall that sense of awe and wonder experienced the first time you scooped up sand in your hand and let it sprinkle from your palm? 

What will you pause and notice today?
