MOTHER NATURE

"For I have learned to look on Nature not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity..."
~William Wordsworth ~

If we are observant, we can see all of the drama and resolve of our daily lives play out in Nature- in storms and seasons and the pecking order of hens. We can watch a brook slip merrily along over pebbles and around branches and stones, and then get stuck in pools of congested leaves and a back-up of sticks. Birds have to work with and not against the wind. Sun shines and then is covered by clouds, and leaves fall only to bud again.

I learn about myself by watching patterns and happenings in Nature.
