Stop and enjoy the Beauty of Nature...!!

From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.
From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
it's the voice of every man...

The word ‘nature’ is an extremely broad word. It encompasses everything from the creatures that live in the sea to the humans that inhabit planet Earth. Nature is so miraculous because it is always changing.  No matter how many times you look at something, it is always different. We just have to stop to smell the roses and take the time to enjoy the breeze. Nature has the magical power to  set a sky aflame at sunset or magically transform a familiar landscape into a snow-white wonderland.  It can paint a rainbow in the sky, paint beautiful autumn colors on trees, or paint a clump of daffodils in the grass with glow of soft sunlight. When we see the leaves budding on a tree or when a timid flower pushes through the frozen ground, or when we smell the freshness of spring, new hope will always come to us.  Nature is truly an intrinsic part of our lives.

Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful.  Everything is simply happy.  Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance.  Look at the flowers - for no reason.  It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.  ~Osho

By the touch of nature, one's self confidence booms, a sense of being an individual blossoms. There is a famous saying that ,by the touch of nature, even a layman becomes a poet. Such is the power of nature.

                             God's gift to man is Nature
                          A treasure for all creatures
                          We must use it with measure.
                          The world is full of green pastures
                          If it is destroyed
                          There is no future
                          We must preserve Nature.
