Take time out to be close to Mother Nature. Get out of the confines of human comfort.

when all human comfort fails, when abandoned." - avr

Take time out from TV, computer, malling;

     life's so dull, busy yet empty;

The left brain's overworked, the right idle,

     growing up is a sad story.

Take time out in summer away from school,

     put down your books and depart;

give imagination a chance over knowledge

     through creativity in the art.

Take time out to be close to Mother Nature,

     draw and paint under the trees,

recreate the world you wish it should be,

     let your worries go with the breeze.

Take time out to be your real self, discover

     beyond the world of reality,

with myriad colors and the paintbrush,

     the boundless realm of fantasy. ~

"Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean." - John Muir. 

(John Muir, also known as "John of the Mountains" and "Father of the National Parks", was an influential Scottish-American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher, botanist, zoologist, glaciologist, and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States of America). ~
