"never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful"
-- Emerson
It is always a blessing to come upon beauty in the outdoors. Last weekend i found myself in a tropical rainforest in Calauan, Laguna. While scouting the area i noticed a peculiar plant. Its little white flowers are like sparklers that shoot up from a mound of black berries which are set in the middle of a bed of radiating leaves, like a flower within a flower. I don't know what these flowers are called but I was smitten. I felt my spirits lifted up.
It is a magical thing to have eyes that see and feel the comfort of nature. They seem to appease one's wretchedness. Their quiet but assuring presence is a balm to the soul.
