Protected Beauty
Protected Beauty

Nature is before our eyes every day,
From its wonders to its disasters.
Yet, we miss it.
We rush from task to task,
From place to place,
From patient to patient,
From home to work,
From work to home.
In our rushing,
We miss the simple beauty of breathing,
Of the sun rising,
Of the gentle breeze blowing,
Of the small wonders that occur each day.
Stop.
Notice one wonder,
Notice one beautiful thing,
Notice the awesomeness that lies within each day,
And protect it.
Take one moment to enjoy the beauty,
It is just before your eyes,
And protect it.
It is yours,
To keep,
To hold,
To make you smile,
To make your life beautiful.

This photo serves to remind ourselves that there is beauty in the everyday, and if we do not take the time to pause we may miss it. We should protect our own happiness and the amazing but often hidden beauty of the everyday.
