“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple life. “ ~ John Burroughs

My reaction to this is almost embarrassing. It simply filled me up. My juices started flowing, and I felt joy in every part of me. I’m going to save this because I will try from time to time to use my watercolors to attempt to get a small part of this effect. I know I will never reach it, but, WOW.
