Miracles of Nature

by Maria Lisa Polegatto

When I seek inspiration, I go out into nature. It never disappoints in any season. While winter is now upon us, nature keeps on delighting with its beauty, I am full of gratitude with each trip I make to see the sun shining brightly in the sky above, the natural landscapes that set out before me, the air that fills me with revitalization and resilience.

While today the lake was frozen in time, it added a special glow atop its natural surface shimmering in the sunshine. I am always delighted when I get back home and download images that inspired me to stop and stare to take in every moment as it filled my soul with compassion and appreciation.  While a picture can tell a thousand words, no picture can replace the experience of being in nature and allowing it to lift my soul to heights of enlightenment of how great our natural world is in raw and graceful beauty.

Nature is full of miracles. One need only show up to let it unfold before you, stop and appreciate the sights, the sounds, the feelings it evokes within. In a world worth saving, nature is on top of the list of miracles I hold very near and dear. 

May you always take time to experience the miracles nature bestows upon all who visit it in this incredible world.  With the celebration of Christmas now upon us, may God bless you with His compassion, love and healing within your spirit in this season of giving and sharing in His unending love.

May all your Christmas wishes come true :)
