Chipmunks

“And thus flowed the current of life. The seeds of the silverbell were converted into squirrel; and squirrels were converted into foxes. Everything edible, from mice and chipmunks to roots and berries and apples was converted into bear. And bear and his tracks are converted into wonder and adventure for man.” ~ Harvey Broome

Nothing gold can stay

“Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.” ~ Robert Frost

Purifying the mind

“Looking at beauty in the world, is the first step of purifying the mind”. ~ Amit Ray

Beauty surrounds us

Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it. ~ Rumi

Waterfall

“As long as I live, I’ll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I’ll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I’ll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can”.  ~ John Muir

Go on adventures

 “You must go on adventures to find out where you truly belong.” ~ Sue Fitzmaurice
