When we take the time to examine the beauty of the world around us, we are able to see parallels within our own lives. One who in tune with nature is in tune with the practice of living. Nature moves in a spiral as do our personal lives. It is important to spend time in nature because in this way we can become aware of its wisdom. If we ignore the beauty of nature and spend all our time in an urban jungle, our stress levels go up and we begin to feel as if we are made out of the concrete that we see all around us.

If I could take a brush and paint the mountains and the moors,
I would splash the hillsides yellow and cover them in gorse.
I'd take the finest needle and the darkest thread of green
And sew a line of bracken along the landscape. In-between

I sit upon my front porch stoop
Beneath the morning sun.
Grateful for the moment spent
Away from everyone.

Come, walk with me into the forest's blessed abode,

I make a sudden sally
And sparkle out among the fern,

Can there be anything more lovely
Than the beauty of a tree?
Her leaves shimmering in the wind,
Dancing so gracefully.
Take a moment.
Put the worries behind.
Take in the beauty around.
Let it relax your mind.
This makes me feel the opposite of what I feel when I need to finish my hours of homework. This poem is a work of art that makes you feel so centered and calm. If this poem was my stuffed...

The wind whistles past my ears.
Closing my eyes, I lose all my fears.

Sultry sun on fields and bay,
quiet calm engulfs the day.
Faint troubled rumblings in the sky
The world outside is a wondrous place,

It's a place to hear and smell and feel.
It's a place so unfettered and free.
No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,

What a great poem! Life's a mystery and where the wind goes as indicated "Who knows?" And what changes are in store for our lives? Change comes to us from all directions in our lives like the...
