“Oh my god”…find out how cinematographer, Louie Schwartzberg, defines those three words in his stunning nine minute TED Talk video, Nature. Beauty. Gratitude. You’ll see why over two million people have been wow’ed by this project.
“You think this is just another day in your life. It’s not just another day. It’s the one day that is given to you today…It’s a gift. It’s the only gift that you have right now, and the only appropriate response is gratefulness. If you do nothing else but to cultivate that response to the great gift that this unique day is, if you learn to respond as if it were the first day in your life and the very last day, then you will have spent this day very well.” ~Benedictine monk Brother David Steindl-Rast

Sizzles the heart! Barbara
Glad you enjoyed this Barbara. It’s a dazzling reminder of how fortunate we are, even on what we might perceive to be a mediocre day. Hope you are well!
Thank you, Becky
I found myself counting my blessings as I watched this. I was thankful that I had eyes to see the beauty and a heart to appreciate it and a mind to ponder it. I am also thankful to you, Becky, for sharing this.
I’m glad you connected with this, Tina. I thought it was stunning on many levels, too.
Thanks Becky. I had not seen this and it fits perfectly with the book I am writing about my journey to re-wild my soul. Lori
