This Is The Antidepressant You Need!

Yet another story on the salutary effect of nature

Since your medical folks will not tell you, I am sharing with you an information nugget, there is a free therapy out there, called nature. It’s made of sunlight, fresh air, bird song, lush plants, flowers, honeybees, and butterflies. Sometimes, clouds and rain. No side effects. No addiction or overdose risk. It’s all win-win. I have been using this therapy since I was 4. I am 41 now, and am fueled by curiosity to understand the big puzzle called life. I peel elm tree bark to see ladybugs underneath. I learn that white roses can turn pink, as heat stress causes fungal growth!

I marvel at the aeonium succulent. The bicolor pattern and whorl configuration mesmerizes me.

I pick dandelion seed-heads to blow. Who said adults can’t do that?
