While strolling through the meadow this morning I noticed a spectacular flower. It took my breath away. I paused for a moment, inhaled the country air and wondered...should I cut this artwork of nature and take it home? Then I thought, how cruel would that be? If I were to cut it down then no one else could enjoy it. But I really wanted to enjoy it. What should I do?
I sat down in the meadow and allowed all of my senses out to play. The green grass, the azure sky, the red rose; The smell of sweet grass, the scent of pines, the smell of country air; The chirping of birds, the swirling wind, the rushing river. I thought about my family, I thought about my life and I thought about my love of writing, design, thinking and reading. I thought about today and brought my senses back inside. I asked them to associate today with these thoughts --and the flower.
I walked away satisfied. I will always remember that flower. Actually, I did take a picture of it because I wanted to show it to you. Would you like to see one of the most beautiful flowers in the world, would you like to see one of the most beautiful descriptions of A Sense of Place?
You would? Cool. Look here.
