A Visit to Chicago Botanic Garden
During a recent weekend trip to Chicago we visited the Chicago Botanic Garden. Although we have visited the Windy City countless times over the past 20 years, and I normally make it my business to make my way to these types of outdoor spaces , I’ve never visited this beautiful space. For me, visiting beautiful gardens is exhilarating, wondrous, and calming.
As we wandered throughout the gardens, our eyes feasted on one beautiful plant after another. We contemplated on how such beauty could be formed and exist in such harmony. Oh, how I would love to wake up and walk through gardens such as this to begin my days! It occurred to me that I do not have to go to far-away places to way up and look at beauty. I only need to look around me wherever I wake up, and and actually see the beauty that us present.
