Take a look out your window. Go ahead, take a good look. Take a minute to notice the green leaves budding on the trees, the butterflies emerging from their cocoons, the flowers starting to blossom.
These days, our Earth seems to be about 29th on the priority list (especially if you’re in high school… I won’t go into it, but let’s just say my biorhythm this past week has been on a steady decline). We are too busy fighting that we don’t notice the birds singing. We are too sad to even feel the breeze. We are too caught up in our own world to even take in the rest of it.
Everyday the Earth performs simple miracles right before our eyes. Because even though each winter the trees are stripped of their leaves and left barren, each spring they still renew and start again. And every time I look outside, even for a single moment, I feel a spark of hope. Hope for new beginnings, hope for resolutions, hope for humanity.
So look out your window, and let’s take this (belated) Earth day to celebrate not only our miraculous home but also the revival of dreams.

That was a really beautiful post. It reads like wonderful poetry. You'll go far with a writing career. :) I agree with you too. There is so much wonder in nature that gets ignored because most people can't be bothered. I try to take a few minutes of every day to even just look at the sky, a tree, an insect (unless it's a bee, then I run away) anything and just appreciate it for what it is.
Thank you for commenting on my blog too. ^^
