On Nature
A Quote to Carry You
April 27, 2015
“There is a slumbering subterranean fire in nature which never goes out, and which no cold can chill.” Henry David Thoreau (A Winter Walk)
On nature. There is something about our physical world that exudes a vibrancy that cannot be ignored. Even when something in nature appears to be dead, like the cold, hard, rigid ground during the dead of winter, it eventually springs to life yielding a treasure trove of delight once warm temperatures begin to filter the air. I liken the dramatic transformation of the earth when it transitions from winter into spring to what happens to us each night. When we slumber, and fall off into a deep, restorative sleep, our bodies may appear to have stopped breathing as though we were dead. However, beneath the surface of our skin, our internal organs are undergoing countless bodily processes that help to keep us strong, healthy, alive and well. When we awaken we are filled with a fresh supply of energy…ready to start a brand new day.
As you live through your new day, may you take the time to enjoy the radiance of nature, and all that it has to offer.
Peace and love,
Felecia
