“We depend on nature not only for our physical survival. We also need nature to show us the way home, the way out of the prison of our minds. We got lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating-lost in a maze of complexity and a world of problems. We have forgotten what rocks, plants and animals still know. We have forgotten how to be–to be still, to be ourselves, to be where life is: here and now.” ~ Eckhart Tolle
“If you know wilderness in the way that you know love, you would be unwilling to let it go.” - Terry Tempest Williams, Testimony
We’re all busy little bees, full of stings, making honey day and night, aren’t we honey?
• Bette Davis
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
••Langston Hughes
“To me the face – the eyes, the expression of the mouth – is the thing that reflects character. It is the only part of the body that permits us to see the inner person. “
