My wife sent this to me a couple of days ago. It’s a video from a very talented singer/songwriter, athlete and all round amazing person named Terry Kelly. It’s one of those videos that challenge your emotions, from anger to respect to sadness. The song is based on a true story that happened to Terry.

We all see the wonders of Nature around us everyday, yet most of us know of only a tiny percentage of what the our own world has to offer. We are inspired by the beauty of animals, insects, plantlife and the atmosphere. Who doesn’t stop to admire a spectacular sunset once in a while?

My favorites were the the Whale Shark, Komodo Dragon (which has representatives in my nearby Denver zoo now), Okapi (a REALLY odd mammal that looks like a practical joke, also at the zoo) and the duckbilled platypus (another practical joke of a beast but FASCINATING!).
