Awakening

She awakens adopting the pace of nature. Just like the butterfly, she too will awaken in her own time. By discovering nature, she discovers herself. The wind plays with her hair. She looks at the beauty in the world, purifying her mind. She becomes one with the wildlife. Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to nature, it will come and sit softly upon you. Those who find beauty in all of nature will find themselves at one with the secrets of life itself. —L. Wolfe Gilbert
