Directions on how to find Beautiful Mystery, #1:
1. If you see a water lily, plunge your hand into the drink.
2. Walk your cooled-off fingers to the lily leaf’s edge. Dip it under the surface.
3. Feel the sun on your back and you may find her:Â Gorgeous Joyous Lawless Limitless Cosmos III.
4. Don’t look up her Latin name because she ditched it for a Harley.
5. Swirl droplets like marbles, see them roll and disappear.
6. Trade your texting for a secret you didn’t know you didn’t know: she stole the shimmer from some quarters and then taught them how to grow.
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth
find reserves of strength that will endure
as long as life lasts.”
Rachel Carson
I loved this. Thanks.
“…she stole the shimmer from some quarters and then taught them how to grow.”
