“In her book Wild, Cheryl Strayed quotes her mother as saying, "There's always a sunrise and always a sunset, and it's up to you to choose to be there for it. Put yourself in the way of beauty." Left to my natural self, I'm more inclined to put myself in the way of Netflix than in the way of beauty. But putting myself in beauty's way is a perspective-shifting practice that grounds me.... I've decided that it's part of my job as a child of God to do so, to look for beauty in the natural world.”
