"The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself."
-Wallace Stevens
The world is a beautiful place. There is so much to explore, so much to discover. There is so much in the world that has been difficult for our simple human minds to understand, because it is so vast and so complex and a true gift to all of us. By far, the most beautiful thing in the world is the world itself. Look outside. What do you see? Trees. Plants. Maybe some flowers. Now, go outside and look closer at these things. Look how delicate a flower petal is, and with a gentle pinch you can completely bruise and destroy and wither a petal. Look at the 'veins' -- if you will -- in a leaf and look at how you can practically see the cell structure of that leaf. Look closely. Isn't the world beautiful? Everything has such amazing and fascinating qualities when you look. So put the computer away and go out for a walk.
