I have found that some of the simplest things

I have found that some of the simplest things have given me the most pleasure. They didn’t cost me a lot of money either. They just worked on my senses. Did you ever pick very large blueberries after a summer rain?, Walk through an lonely path, see the blue sky beyond the shimmering gold of the leaves?, Have you ever slept in the middle of the forest?, Come in out of the subzero and shiver yourself warm in front of a wood fire?

The world is full of such things.
