CAN YOU BE AMAZED?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Today, my nine-year-old son, who has been observing and studying birds in all possible ways and with great zeal for a year and a half, invited me to go to Maksimir Park\u2026 And as we walk the forest paths at early dawn, listening to birds chirping and watching the treetops, the thought comes to me – how little it really takes\u2026 to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city \u2013 its cars, trams and people, to get away from the whirlwind of obligations and duties and go into the woods, sit on a meadow or a rock by the sea or the river bank\u2026 and come to yourself, allow your soul to start breathing anew.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Today, people often relax in front of the TV watching marathon movies and series, surfing or playing computer games or spending time at some Wellness centers or shopping malls. But isn’t man somehow even more tired after that, more burdened?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And I ask myself again today – who created all this so miraculously? Arranged all of nature in such an astounding way? Who spread those awesome colors in the spring sky? Not to mention birds that treat us every day with their extraordinary concerts at no charge\u2026 Who trained them so wonderfully?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Do you notice, dear reader, in the nature that surrounds you that amazing imprint of the Creator? The tenderness and fragility of a flower, the splendor of trees, the freshness of a clear stream, the love poured into each of His creatures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Are you aware that you wouldn\u2019t be able to recognize that beauty if it had not been already woven into you?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Stop now and ask yourself\u2026 Do my eyes see beauty? In me, around me? In another man? What do my eyes see every day? Can I still, as a little child from the depths of my soul, admire and rejoice at the ladybird<\/u> that lands on my hand, the new flower in my garden?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

Am I ready to learn from a child how to be simple? Am I ready to change again? How simple, yet important questions, right?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the week ahead, look for small oases in the nature that surrounds you, discovering thus the Creator’s closeness and allowing Him to tell you how much he loves you and how precious you are to Him.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CAN YOU BE AMAZED?
