There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.
--Linda Hogan |
To protect what is wild is to protect what is gentle. Perhaps the wilderness we fear is the pause within our own heartbeats, the silent space that says we live only by grace. Wilderness lives by this same grace.
--Terry Tempest Williams |
...the green woods laugh with the voice of joy,"
Lord Bryon |
Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level ... and take an insect view of its plain.
Henry David Thoreau |
Every step you take should be a prayer. And if every step you take is a prayer, then you will always be walking in a sacred manner.
--Oglala Lakota Holyman", |
I dream of hiking into my old age. ~Marlyn Doan

... us sing and dance, make faces and give flower bouquets,
trying to be loved. You ever notice that trees do everything to git attention we do, except walk? - Alice Walker |
Trees are much like human beings and enjoy each other's company. Only a few love to be alone. ~Jens Jensen

"I sat staring, staring, staring - half lost, learning a new language or rather the same language in a different dialect. So still were the big woods where I sat, sound might not yet have been born."
Emily Carr |
Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints.

We give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.

Everything in life is speaking in spite of it's apparent silence

I have enjoyed this posting especially as I studied fungi for a while and came to appreciate its great diversity and beauty. Without fungi we would all drown in our wastes. They are the decomposers of the natural world and recycle everything. I found the words particularly poignant. A beautiful and reflective posting.
