Nature’s beauty can be fleeting — but not through Louie Schwartzberg’s lens.

His stunning time-lapse photography, accompanied by powerful words from Benedictine monk Brother David Steindl-Rast, serves as a meditation on being grateful and positive about every day.

We’re aware that we here at Wondrlust have posted this video before … but hey, when something is as beautiful and inspirational as this … we see no reason why not to watch it again and again.

The video is 9 minutes long but it is worth watching and listening to every second!
