Life's beauty
Beautiful misty spray outside this morning. I just love this gentle weather. Soft clouds kissing the earth, sheltering it from intensity, calming, lovely, nurturing like a mother hen's downy breast feathers.
My mom used to say "use it or lose it." I think that's true about loving the little things in life. If you don't appreciate it, it will be gone for you. If you don't look outside and breathe in the fragrances of nature's world, if you don't let your eyes see the glassy shimmer in the leaves in the late afternoon, or the blueish mist that covers the riverbeds at dawn, or the glimmer of the starry sky at night, you are losing much of what nourishes your soul.
