A rich nature lies at our feet \u2013 we just have to want to see it.<\/p>\n\n

The question arises for me: Does that not affect you?<\/p>\n\n

It feels, I think, great. And many of the everyday worries that plague me (or you) are then, at least for a short while, blown away… <\/p>\n\n

I can’t feel bad when I see something beautiful. That’s why I practice mindfulness: for myself and for others. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
