Virtuality
Take a leisurely stroll in nature
And see, feel and hear what’s offered.
Look around at the lovely sights:
Different trees, fauna, wildflowers.
Pluck a bloom, any flower. Now
Raise it to your nose and sniff it.
Smell the subtle scent it offers?
You can’t buy that in any store!
Next, feel the soft colored petals.
Soft, huh! Name one thing that’s softer.
I bet you can’t! Nothing man-made
Comes close to what is in your hand.
Now, with flower in hand, stand still.
Listen! Hear nature’s symphony?
