Quick-growing bloom days when sap flows fast like the swelling streams.
Rising from the dead, the work of the year is pushed on with enthusiasm as
if never done before, as if all God's glory depended upon it; inspiring every
plant, bird, and stream to sing with youth's exuberance, painting flower
petals, making leaf patterns, weaving a fresh roof--all symbols of eternal love.

John Muir
Trails of Wonder

Today, look at the blue sky, hear the grass growing beneath your feet,
inhale the scent of spring, let the fruits of the earth linger on your tongue,
reach out and embrace those you love. Ask Spirit to awaken your
awareness to the sacredness of your sensory perceptions.
