My Ode to Mother Nature
The soft delicacy of another day, enveloping and evolving with vibrancy and transformation.
The delicacy of a flower moves the day forward in harmony.
Nature’s exuberance creates a nest in the soul, shoring the center’s endurance.
The soft lift of a flower.
Note:
In America and the world we face a crucial test of humanity. Will we pledge ourselves to do our part to stop climate change. One way to participate is to support an organization whose mission is to protect the planet. The World Wildlife Fund is devoted to that charge. From their website: “For 50 years, WWF has been protecting the future of nature.”As the “world’s leading conservation organization, WWF works in 100 countries and is supported by more than one million members in the United States and close to five million globally. WWF’s unique way of working combines global reach with a foundation in science, involves action at every level from local to global, and ensures the delivery of innovative solutions that meet the needs of both people and nature.” They focus on :”food, climate, fresh water, wildlife, forest and oceans.” Hope that you’ll visit their site, and consider donating. I have been supporting them for decades, and I’m always impressed with their reach and results.
