I love the fact that we are surrounded by this spectacular natural beauty that routinely strikes us dead. Hikers walk off into the woods and are never seen again. And still we tug on our fleece and skip off into the wilderness, not a care in the world.

Most of those naturally beautiful things are naive and subtle like rose flowers. When you plucked it, the thing of beauty commences to die.
