"Gratitude for the beauty all around us is a way to feel connected to the rhythm and pulse of our natural world. At water's edge there are different experiences to appreciate than in a field of flowers. In the city it is different than the country. In the morning it is different than in moonlight. What takes your breath away and gives back gratitude?"When I think of things in nature, I know that being in/near water and autumn colours are two of my favorite things. (The only way that a summer swim could be better is if it looked more like autumn.)
When I don't put a nature slant to it, some of my favorite things are "shiny" and "sparkly." I have a silly theory that whomever invented sequins was trying to capture the beautiful of the sparkle of the snow on a perfect winter night. Yesterday I watched the water sparkle as it flowed down the Red River. Complete with the fall leaves surrounding it. And now I wonder if whomever invented glitter was trying to capture the beauty of the sunshine reflected on a river.
There are so many ways to enjoy the beauty of our world. I am glad to have had the opportunity to share this view.
