β€œIt is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know the sense of wonder and humility. ”

~Rachel Carson in The Sense of Wonder

Feeling the cool air, seeing the sunflowers knocked down by the weight of the seed and the age of the stem, tasting the end of the summer tomatoes, I am grateful for all that nature has given us. My hope for all of us its that we turn our sense of wonder and gratitude into lasting care for our earth and all the creatures living here. Let each one of us do something kind today for our natural world.
