Time to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of nature

People are amazed at how fast and fleeting time ticks and flies these days, complaining that there isn’t any more time left for us to fully savor the mystique of life. To smell the sweet scents of the various multi-colored flowers. To gaze at the magnificent trees. To gape at the resplendent rising and setting of the sun. And to appreciate the bounty and grandeur of nature that abounds around us.

No matter our busy-ness, however, why not set a specific time each day to unfurl in our minds sceneries that we associate with peace and tranquility … and offer a prayer of thanks for the many-but-oftentimes-ignored blessings received in life.

The much-needed-brief interlude will enable us to reach the creative inner depths within us. To momentarily escape from the noise, confusion and hustle-bustle spawned by the constantly-evolving-high-tech and increasingly-demanding modern living we trudge.

Take deep breaths as you pause … to still the thoughts, calm the roller-coaster emotion and give us strength as we face the many perplexing situations and myriad problems we encounter in our daily grind. For silence is the best element in which bright ideas blossom, and great things fashion themselves together!

Peace, good health, safety, abundance to us all!
