Sometimes we get so bogged down by the challenges of life that we stop actually seeing the beauty around us. We become myopic. The goal being, to just make it through the day. Some may be facing difficult challenges in their lives that caused them to become numb, but beauty is omnipresent. We need to take a moment to notice the blessings in nature and in our lives. It can transform the way one feels and also offer hope and peace at a time of upheaval.
No one is immune to problems. There is no person with a perfect life. We need to change the way we perceive things in order to feel that there will be an end to the turmoil. When we step out in nature we need to open our eyes and really observe the miracles.
Beauty is everywhere…a rain storm, a bird’s nest, the intricate design of a spider web, the vivid color of a flower, the ebb and flow of the ocean, or the spiral in a whelk shell. The examples are endless. When we notice the natural phenomena and how nature renews itself, it’s a reminder that we can too. We are capable of a metamorphosis just like the caterpillar that becomes a butterfly.
When we spend time in nature and appreciate the beauty, we understand that we are uniting with a higher power. We become aware of what matters in life. We recognize our connectedness. A simple walk in nature can help put life’s problems in perspective.
