Dear Mother Nature

I am dedicating this blog to you

and all that you have so freely given

and shared with me, without asking,

in my life. You have filled me up

at moments I was low, and you have

lifted me to the Heights at times

that I did not think that was possible.

I know, God, by whatever name,

you created this, and that Mother Nature

tends to your Garden.

And that together you have created some

of the True Splendors of this Earth

to Behold and us mere mortals

can only glimpse into your nature

by beholding the “tiniest spec” of what you

allow us to see.

Thank you for sharing ALL that you do

and may this Beauty that you lay out there

for Everyone, every day, for them to see,

ONLY if they are willing to OPEN their hearts

to the magnificence of it.

May that be the blessing of each of their days,

that they allow themselves to be graced

with your Natural Beauty that you have spread

SO abundantly on this planet Earth our home,

for us to see and share.

Thank You from the bottom of my heart…..

In the name of the snowflake, the lupine,

the coyote and the redwood, Amen.
