The more you use it the stronger it gets. So find a new hobby that excites and challenges you. Pick up a musical instrument, try a new language, or play chess on the computer.
Nature
Emily Dickinson
“Nature” is what we see—
The Hill—the Afternoon—
Squirrel—Eclipse— the Bumble bee—
Nay—Nature is Heaven—
Nature is what we hear—
The Bobolink—the Sea—
Thunder—the Cricket—
Nay—Nature is Harmony—
Nature is what we know—
Yet have no art to say—
