“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
― Rachel Carson

Try as we might to capture a thing of beauty forever, at best we can make only representations of what floors us in nature. We can immortalize it in paintings and photographs or even leave it etched in our memory. However nature is absorbed --- in itself or in our replications --- healing is given to our spirit.
Take a stroll in the park, go somewhere rustic, tend your garden. Or start painting. Soak it all in and receive the gifts.
