Quotation Reflections

"To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture with has never seen before, and which shall never be seen again." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The above mentioned quote seems to have a soul of its own. It spurs the imagination, takes root in the soul, and regales the mind's eye. For who cannot recall a moment of that pure and perfect phenomenon we dub as Nature. Whether or not the beholder thinks it beautiful, the landscape shapes us, makes us its own, and in time we all see its true purpose.

This quote has many meanings and uses within my particular writings. That being said, its themes and effects upon the reader are only part of my "story's" overarching meaning. There can be no debate that the beauty and awe found in Nature encompass not just the Earth, but our own selves as well. For being part of the great circle of life, we can in fact, look upon the quote, not as an outside observation, but as inner enlightenment.
