Even When Everything Sucks....

There is still the immense beauty and peace of nature available to us. I discovered these beauties on an early morning stroll, which has turned into a walking meditation of sorts. All my worries get dumped the moment I step outside and head down the sidewalk. All that exists are the cats and dogs who greet me at every turn, trees that comfort me in their steadfastness, and flowers that bloom no matter what is going on around them. What a gift.
