Cosmos Beauty

Many years ago I visited a conservatory in Seattle. I went to admire the tropical plants and get a break from the dreary weather. A grandmother was there with her young granddaughter. They walked around a corner and the little girl reacted to a beautiful plant. I will never forget the response from the grandma. She said to the girl "that is so beautiful, doesn't it feel good to be alive!" A wave of emotions hit me. I couldn't recall ever hearing an adult say that to me when I was young. After that incident I made it a habit to frequently tell myself how good it does feel to be alive and to be able to experience the beauty of Earth.
