On Tuesday, September 17, 2013 a student came to our lesson and complained about her problems with this, that, and everything else in between.
She asked me what I thought she should do. Here I saw my chance to tell her about how I look at life.
So I said:
If you look at the beauty of nature,
you will forget your problems.
Sunsets, Sunrises,
the changing colors of autumn,
new leaves in spring,
thunder and lightning storms,
snow, wind, and rain,
a beaming sun,
flowers, and trees,
rivers, lakes, and streams,
a still sea, and an orgasmic ocean,
the power of an earthquake,
the slow engulfment of a tsunami,
the good, bad, and dreadful.
They are all the beauty of nature.
Think about them and your problems will be forgotten
(for maybe a short period of time).
This is how I feel about nature. Nature is my god or maybe you could say gods.
Nature has more power then we could ever conceive of.
This humbles me and as the saying goes,
“I feel like a dot in this world.”
Then I don’t know where my problems went.
How do you take care of problems?

Very nice and very true. So many people spend their life indoors – home and work, in front of a computer screen or television, their thoughts fixed on their problems and never see, never experience the true majesty of nature.
The best thing I ever did in my life was get out there (I lived in the wilderness for near on five years – no house and off the grid – it was great). Nature, when you meet it face-to-face makes mincemeat of our human society “problems”.
Taking note of the beauty that is all around us helps to put things in perspective and certainly adds to a pleasant day.
Cheers! 🙂
Thanks for the comment and you sure are fast. I just finished the post. I checked out your blog. The grandkids couldn’t believe the size of the snake.
Beautiful pictures Fred 🙂
I think I just timed it right, I wanted to see “what was out there” and found you. 🙂
Thank you so much for visiting my blog, too – and I’m glad you shared with your grandkids, kids love amazing things like snakes.
Cheers to you and the grandkids. 😀
Thanks for the comment.

Thanks. I wish they were mine.
You shared them with us. That’s close enough 🙂
Thanks. Oh, you would have loved dancing through the real typhoon we had here in Tokyo this last Monday. Whooppee !

Oh i bet that was spectacular. A friend of mine has begun to really enjoy the recent tornados she’s seen in Canada 🙂
Yeah, the first time in 50 years we have tornadoes now, too. Go Nature Go.
