Nature's Amen

 

I say that almost everywhere there is beauty enough to fill a person's life if one would only be sensitive to it.  Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them.  – Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Yesterday, ours was the good fortune to walk through the beauty of the Denver Botanic Gardens’ “Orchid Showcase,” and gain the inspiration that comes from “Nature’s Amen,” as Emerson also wrote about what we should really call flowers.

Or as the famed botanist Luther Burbank said:  “Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.”
