“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
“And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.” – William Shakespeare
Sometimes I try to place myself in the position my one-year-old is in and absorb the sounds, sights and sensations she is experiencing for her first time. The lush, green grass with tiny purple crocuses sprouting this way and that, tall, looming trees with hints of young leaves and the promise of shade against the backdrop of a deep blue sky flickered with white, fluffy clouds and the powering brightness of the magnificent sun. Even the cloudy, gray afternoon spitting little droplets of wet diamonds makes my daughter smile and look up to the heavens. So much to learn from this little girl and so much to appreciate in the nature around us.
“And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth’s dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.”
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, “The Sensitive Plant”
