Relaxing, Recouping, Recharging

I wish I could bottle these moments. You know, the ones where there is an overwhelming sense of peace and perfectness.  There ain't nothing better than being surrounded by nature, life, the beauty and perfectness of the natural world. I've yet to see anything man-made that rivals a flower. Why aren't we, as a community, more concerned with preservation? Why are we so eager to rip up the earth to build a strip mall? We know the benefits of "stopping to smell the roses", so why don't we? I know ya'll are busy, but I have the summer off, well a few weeks anyway, and I'm going to take advantage of enjoying nature, for both of us :)
