Summer Sun Like No Other One

Room with a serious view.

I’m living in nature’s living picture.

For the last seven weeks, I have woken up to the sunrise every day.

And every day it’s the same: A spectacular marvel at the stunning beauty of nature’s quiet command over space and time. The dawn of a new day is as peaceful as it is yelling its presence in firey, blinding yellow.

Never have I experienced a more consistent awe inspiring regularity of beauty as a stimulant for life.  

“Get out in nature,” we say. Really, nature must get into us. Expansive vistas clear the head and fill the spirit. Nature’s vast beauty inspires and remains only through change.

Education follows the same pattern that we observe in nature; the external nurturing of the potential growth that exists within. The element of self-creation is integral, define.s what it means to learn (Whitehead, 1929)
