One of the best things that happens when I get outside…

I see so many things that takes my breath away.  I have moments of pure awe and wonder….

I look up at the clouds and awe, they are so beautiful. Look how they float along. Some moving fast, some slow, all morphing shape, holding moisture and nourishment for the earth. How incredible they are.

I look at the trees and I’m in awe, the branches are so long and reaching, soon their will be buds forming which leave will soon replace. Thinking how high and wide they reach up in the open air, their roots must reach lower and wider into the earth. Connecting and weaving with their fellow plant buddies.

I see birds flying by and I’m in awe.  Watch them flittering along, can they see the worms in the grass, are they dancing or courting together?  Where is their nest, how far have they traveled.

I see the suns brilliance peaking through and I’m in awe.  How incredible that this one star out of trillions can heat our planet, supporting life for all Earths creatures.  How warm it feels on my skin. Remembering the summertime where I can soak up the rays sitting along the sea coast with waves crashing down.

I am reminded of how small my life is in comparison to the greatness of this world around me.  I am insignificant in comparison to the clouds.  I am a passing flicker of life to the trees, I am no one to the birds besides something they’d rather avoid.

I am nothing in a world of everything.

Taking my thoughts, my Ego thinking out of my Self and onto something grander than I try to comprehend.  After all, I’m just a tiny human standing on an orbiting planet that is magnetically connected to a burning star all floating in a vastness of darkness. I get out of my head and form a connection with the very nature of our world.  We are all apart of this collective vastness called our universe and when I get outside I am reminded of the grandness of it all. It takes my finite little being and turns the lens outwards into infinite possibilities. Wow, awe-mazing.

And I’m so glad I chose to get outside today.
