At the time I originally wrote this article, I was in a wonderful mood. I was writing this at the beginning of a mini-break, and it felt like the world Was full of possibilities. I was surrounded by good friends, loving family, and beautiful landscapes. As a friend said to me recently, we are hard wired for variety. Problematic at times, but very true.
Fortunately, our amazing planet is all too happy to provide us with said variety, and in this modern age, even if we can’t experience it firsthand, we can still do so vicariously. The following images are posted with permission of an AMAZING facebook page called Epic Animal. If you haven’t already checked it out, I strongly encourage you to do so. You will be in awe of what nature produces.
As I view these images, I often think about that unique set of circumstances that made me into me, rather than some other creature. It’s all so random and unexpected and amazing. What a wonderful world we live in! Enjoy!
