THOM HARTMANN

I often wonder if we all spent a little more time every day in appreciation of the splendor of our natural world would the human race be more at peace?

Many of us spend so much time in boxes that it’s good to get outside and experience nature. Letting our cares go temporarily and inviting nature in is a good way to ground and relieve anxiety.

“Because”

Because the world is round
It turns me on
Because the world is round

Because the wind is high
It blows my mind
Because the wind is high

Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you

Because the sky is blue
It makes me cry
Because the sky is blue
Aah
