On this most unique and beautiful day, “Nature provides the gateway for your inner voice to be heard. Nature’s beauty is a gift to cultivate appreciation and gratitude. Open your eyes and your heart and see this new day as if it is the very first day of your life, and the very last day of your life.”
These thoughts are shared from a Ted Talk presentation by filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg, a cinematographer, director and producer who captures breathtaking images that celebrate life — revealing connections, universal rhythms, patterns and beauty.
Be present with all of your senses and fall in love with this world that is a gift in the present moment.
With perspectives from the eyes of a child and an elder, we are reminded that everywhere you turn, there is something to appreciate, celebrate, and open your heart to receive.
So much distress and disturbance is fed to us each day, and the burden of this information can keep us in a state of depression, anger, fear and helplessness. But in the same world where all this discord is being recorded and regurgitated 24/7, there is also simplicity, unspeakable beauty, interconnectedness and coherence … we need only open our eyes and our hearts, to discover what is now and always has been, right in front of us … a world that we can fall in love with.
