既然有緣到此一訪，
何妨放鬆一下妳(你)的心緒，
歇一歇妳(你)的腳步，

讓我陪妳(你)喝一杯香醇的咖啡吧！

這裡是一個完全開放的交心空間，
躺在綠意漾然的草原上，望著晴空的藍天，
白雲和微風嬉鬧著，無拘無束的赤著腳，
可以輕輕鬆鬆的道出心中情。

天馬行空的釋放著胸懷，緊緊擁抱著彼此的情緒。
共同分享著彼此悲歡離合的酸甜苦辣。
互相激勵，互相撫慰，互相提攜，
一齊向前邁進。

也因為有妳(你)的來訪，我們認識了。
請讓我能擁有機會回拜於妳(你)空間的機會。
謝謝妳(你)！

Slideshow: Yoga Photographer Robert Sturman Celebrates Earth Day Around the World

In this stunning gallery of photos by Robert Sturman, the acclaimed yoga photographer captures yogis practicing in their natural element in honor of Earth Day. "As an artist, I often think of Rumi’s words, 'I can’t stop pointing to the beauty.’ That feels right to me,'" he says. In the following slideshow, Sturman asks yogis—both renowned teachers and "regular" practitioners—what the Earth means to them in their practice and their lives.

Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico"When you look at the beauty of Mother Earth, it is the beauty that perceives beauty. You are THE beauty along with everything else in the natural world ... and I don't mean "you are beautiful" like, put you on the cover of Vogue magazine. I don't mean that insidious, contrived beauty that makes everyone miserable to compare themselves with. No! I mean you are THE beauty of Mother Nature. You are the wild in the wild! When you do your yoga, you embrace the wild and you know your beauty. You cannot capture the beauty. The mind is too slow. You don't have to because you are the beauty. You can embrace that reality in and as yourself in your intrinsic harmony with everything else in the cosmos. With air, with light, with the green realm, with water, and with the male-female inherent union, which is the nurturing power of this cosmos that brings everything forth. Happy Earth Day, everyone!"See also 6 Ways to Celebrate Earth Day (and Make a Positive Impact)

Location: Todos Santos, Mexico"To my understanding, beauty is the result of a harmonious relationship between human beings and the Earth. It is a feeling of peace and a sense of care. Gardening brings you the happiness of taking care of the Earth in a synergistic way. In an over-connected world, it is so illuminating and healthy to feel disconnected from any electronic source and just be in contact with the Earth, the sun, and the plants, practicing spontaneous mindfulness, and taking care of the planet. Being surrounded by butterflies, birds, flowers, bright edible plants, the sounds of the water and the wind, it makes you feel part of the simple and rich beauty of nature. It makes you feel more free and closer to your wildness. Cultivating a garden for me is a perfect way to cultivate beauty, awareness, and kindness, balancing the elements to reflect the harmony of the cosmos, which begins by taking care of ourself ... the Earth."See also 10 Body Mudras to Celebrate Earth Day with Shiva Rea
