"Nature never hurries. Atom by atom, little by little she achieves her work."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nature has always been a huge inspiration for me.
As a child... I loved to wander around the forests by my house...
frequently coming in contact with her wild creatures and botanicals.

The desert certainly has it's own beauty... for beauty is everywhere...
but I find I am longing more for the wet, wild, wooded lands of days gone by...

The quote above really spoke to me as well this am... as I felt rushed... as if I was behind on everything... on life itself... I must remember to take it easy... that it will all get done in it's own time...
