I am posting some pictures I took at a park in New Jersey, USA. It is always good to take a walk in a park to enjoy the natural environment. Living in harmony with the plants and the environment reduces stress and prolongs life. Exercising, such as walking for at least 30 minutes can prolong your cardiovascular health. Try that and your memory will also improve.
AN ODE TO PLANTS
From the dawn of history you ministered to our needs;
Thou ancient of days, present in the beginning of life;
For your love, you furnish us with food,
Clothing and shelter we lack not.
In you we have life, for the air we breath is enriched by your oxygen.
For without you, we perish.
Oh how, you purify the air we breath!
Our waste, carbon dioxide, is your delicacy.
Mills are powered by thee,
Your raw materials are made into products.
Wages are earned because of you.
For your love, Columbus set off in search of thee;
Your spices are worth more than you think.
What would Henry Hudson have done without you?
From the Hudson River Basin to Eastern Canada, he marveled at your beauty.
Wars have been fought because of you,
For you are priceless and worth keeping.
You furnish the settings and beautify the surroundings;
Your fragrance perfuse our minds with wonder.
Literature, music and art are inspired by thee.
Thou ancient of days, present in the beginning of life;
We adore thee!
