“Live gently upon the earth.” An idyllic setting with birds, butterflies and bees includes an image of a gentle lady caring for the land around her home. But living gently means not only treating the earth with kindness, but also yourself and others around you. This piece is a reminder to slow down and notice the beauty in each moment of the day.
