Stop a mintue or two and look around.
See all of the beautiful things and hear
the sounds...of birds chirpping and the wind
blowing through the trees. It's almost as
beautiful as an angel getting her wings.
The lake is peaceful, as smooth as glass,
except for the occasional jumping of a salmon or bass.
The light is getting dim as nighttime comes very close. Crickets are making their beautiful
music the loudest and most.
Butterflies land delicately on lily pads in the lake.
The howl of a wolf makes the silence suddenly brake.
All is calm and peaceful this night,
but many never stop to see this sight.
It is more beautiful than anything can be.
Just stop and look at it with your heart and it will set your soul free.

It seems so deeply important to me that people should stop and look at the world around them.
