Being diagnosed with a terminal illness has made me thankful for every morning (preferably a sunny one, but even the gloomy ones) as well as heightened my curiosity about life on this earth in all of its profound complexities.  This blog is my homage to all things I find inspiring and thought provoking, with a focus on the natural world.  It is an attempt to make those of you under similar circumstances and those of you in perfect health to take a moments pause in your hectic lives to marvel at what we so often take for granted.
