Nature's Precious Gifts

"Give yourself a gift: the present moment."

 

Marcus Aurelius

 

While walking along the road, I noticed the smallest flowers bending in the breeze. The whole plant was no larger than my smallest finger. I was stunned to see the beauty of its form once it was at eye level.

 

The older I become, the more I appreciate not only the rich beauty of our natural world, but also the wise words of philosophers such as Marcus Aurelius. An appreciation of our time spent on this Earth is often overlooked in the search for more exciting moments. Thus I offer this tiny flower and some wise words to take you through the day.
