Inspiration

The natural world offers so much beauty.  Its various moods can match or challenge our own. The feeling of connection to all one feels when immersed in the outdoors can help us center ourselves and feel grounded.  There are so many lovely passages written to honor our connection with nature.  I came across the following words which are not only beautiful but inspirational ... enjoy!

"The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air, the fragrance of the grass speaks to me.  The summit, the mountain, the thunder of the sky, the rhythm of the sea speaks to me.  The faintness of the stars, the freshness of the morning dewdrop on the flower speaks to me.  The strength of fire, the taste of salmon, the trail of the sun, and the life that never goes away, they speak to me,  and my heart soars."

 ~ Chief Dan George, a Canadian Indian
