Gratitude for Plants…

I love PLANTS.
They are unmistakably one of Nature’s greatest gifts.
Not only are they essential to all of life, but they exemplify many aspects of how to
LIVE and how to GIVE. 

Plants demonstrate what it means to be both an individual and to be connected to something greater. They are born knowing their purpose, and do not hesitate to quickly grow and blossom into their own unique selves.  

Simultaneously, they seem to be connected to the broader world, as they share all that they have become with the rest of creation. Their lessons to mankind are many, and their unconditional giving is an example to us all.
All of the world is enriched by Plants. 

They grace our lives daily with their beauty, aromas, nutrients and boundless other treasures. They are here to serve us and thrive on our gratitude. During this time of year, I like to take time to allow my senses to experience their wondrous gifts.
A walk in the forest, the fragrance of flowers, the first bite of a freshly picked berry….
all of these sights, smells and tastes transform me in ways beyond measure.  
They create a type of magic that sets my Spirit Free!
