An Unruffled Calm



"Surely there is something in the unruffled calm of nature that overawes our little anxieties and doubts; the sight of the deep-blue sky and the clustering stars above seem to impart a quiet to the mind." Jonathan Edwards


When we take the time to just sit and relax and enjoy nature, it gives us a unique calm that can't be derived from the electronic toys we've grown so accustomed to. So, turn off the iPod, the cell phones and the computers (after you finish this blog, of course), find a peaceful place and just relax & enjoy the scenery. It will revive you and give you a sense of renewed energy that will get you through the day.

Great quote.
But which Jonathan Edwards? The 18th C minister probably wouldn't give credit to Nature.
