The artistry of nature breaks all the rules we would impose on beauty! She is wild and free with color, shape and variety. From nature we learn the aesthetics of asymmetry, chaos and clashing colors. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.”
The astonishing beauty in nature shakes us out of our narrowly defined world of judgment and taste. When our eyes are open and we live in the present, we gasp in awe at the splendor of wildflowers carpeting a meadow. This is our window of opportunity—to pay attention to that moment when thought is absent. When we are lost in wonder, we find something truly worth pursuing.
