Learning From Nature

Under the sea I discovered colors I did not know existed on this earth. Hues found only under the sea and in heaven, maybe, but maybe not. The fish left me alone; but when they hid in the reef, I sheltered. Being quintessential humanitarians, they taught me how to survive. In the rain forest I spied the leopard, she was licking her babies. I sent her God’s love, hoping she was too engrossed to bother me. Her giant tongue stopped licking; I knew better than to run. I learn more from nature than I learned in nineteen years of school.
