It seems that Nature's contribution to our lives is as important in emotional ways as it is in practical ones. To be immersed in the beauty of this moment is, for me, to experience afresh a profound sense of wonder and awe.
Moments like these are given to each of us without favoritism. We cannot earn them; there is nothing we can do to deserve them. But, we can choose to appreciate them or to ignore them. How we choose will make all the difference.
