TRANSCRIPT
When the hustle and bustle of life gets you down, find some way to retreat to Nature. Talk a walk. Feed some birds or squirrels. Bring home some flowers. Even such small interactions with Nature can have a calming effect, cherish it.
For, as Aristotle says, ”In all things of Nature there is something of the marvelous.”
