Rewards of the Simple Life

To find the universal elements enough; 

to find the air and the water exhilarating; 

to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; 

to be thrilled by the stars at night; 

to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring 

- these are some of the rewards of the simple life.
