A worth-while quote to share

"After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, love, and so on — have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear — what remains? Nature remains; to bring out from their torpid recesses, the affinities of a man or woman with the open air, the trees, fields, the changes of seasons — the sun by day and the stars of heaven by night." - Walt Whitman.

In these pandemic times and just before it, I have found these words to be so deeply true.

There is a comfort in that which remains when all the pursuits fade away or show up as having no consequence, either good or bad.

But Nature. She remains in its dynamism and insistence on being.

And I have yet to find anything as healing, or centering or calming than the natural world of our planet that is so sublimely effervescent with life, it gives us breath to take, and, takes our breath away.

Selah.
