The Beauty of a Moment

The beauty of a moment is there, always, but often we must train ourselves to see it. Just as the student of art learns to appreciate the choice of colors and the skillful strokes of the painter's brush, or the literature student learns to see the technique of the writer, so too must we who live, train ourselves to recognize beauty in every moment. To seize life and not let it slip by. To live actively, not passively, so that each day we are molded and formed by every encounter and interaction with nature and her creatures.
