Day 10 - Stop and smell the roses

"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change." - Buddha

Our world is beautiful. There is so much to see and appreciate. Mother nature has been kind to us despite the fact that we continuously abuse this planet. Today's challenge is simple; appreciate the beauty of nature. Stop to smell the roses; feel the breeze on your face as you walk along the sidewalk; take in the complexity of a trees bark; recognize the life that is inside each plant.

I chose this challenge so that you may not only take in the beauty of nature, but also so that you may be reminded of why there are conservation efforts to save this planet. Don't get me wrong though, this isn't a hippy point of view. It is about recognizing the balance between human needs and wants, and what our planet has to offer.
