We must consciously build in time and awareness for the joys of nurturing the gentle one. Find out how many different types of birds you can see in an hour. Seek out the flowers blooming in your yard or patio garden and say an inner prayer of appreciation. Choose the most beautiful bloom and carry it inside. Place it in water and cradle it in your hands as you let all of your senses fully discover it.
Flowers are a beautiful gift from nature.
Check out a book of Georgia O Keefe paintings and you ll never look at flowers in the same way again. Remember the wisdom of that old saying Take time to stop and smell the roses .
