Today I'm working at home and noticing the tiny hummingbird at my study window, amid a green cathedral of oaks, pines, and California bay trees surrounding the house. What a wonder it is to slow down, turn off all the noise, and reawaken to the subtle beauties of nature.
The Renaissance neoplatonists realized that beauty feeds a hunger deep within our souls. Today--every day--is an opportunity to reclaim that beauty, to embrace and cherish the beauty of our natural world.
