     Whether you’re walking briskly for health or you’re walking slowly for leisure around a park and your favorite trail, you open up yourself to nature’s surprises.  You get to behold a Cardinal swoop and alight at a bush right in front of you as if saying, “Welcome to the neighborhood!”  You can’t help stopping and noting that bunched blossoming cacti at a residential entrance way.  Spanning while keeping your pace, you spot bright yellow blossoms in someone’s garden where a lone sleepy young watermelon, still attached to its nourishing vine, surprises you.  You feel beyond blessed catching at the right moment a brown and white spotted foot-long winged creature’s flight from a tree branch to a wind vane’s tip atop a house roof.  You walk, and keep on walking craving for more of nature’s gifts along the way.  “What a marvelous world to enjoy,” you whisper.  What wonderful sights to keep inside you for rainy days you could not be out in God’s natural world!
