It is a beautiful day today. Warm, sunny, no clouds, and a strong breeze. I was walking my dog earlier and I couldn't help but stop and listen to the wind swirling and blowing through the trees, bending them and tousling their long pine needles. I thought to myself that this mundane occurrence is the result of earth's bountiful and magnificent atmosphere—the very one that made life on this planet possible and sustains it to this very day.
That's not just wind blowing about, that's life force. Most of us don't struggle to find enough oxygen to breathe—it's simply everywhere! I don't have to worry whether or not I'll have enough once I set foot out my door or whether I have to order more from the utility company to supply the house (cue sci-fi/dystopian story plot). I step outside and breathe deep, taking in the sunshine and blue skies. Earth is an incredible planet.
Thank you, earth, for giving us the oxygen we need and for making it so enjoyable for it to flow through our hair and fingertips.
