In wildness is the preservation of the world.- Thoreau

2007.07.07
"All of nature is in us, all of us is in nature." -- Native American

"One cannot sell the earth
upon which the people walk."

Tacunka Witco (Crazy Horse)
Oglala Lakota

“Fields have eyes and woods have ears”

Proverb

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.
~~Chief Seattle

We give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.
~Sacred Native American ritual chant

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

- Hazrat Inayat Khan

"We must protect the forests for our children, grandchildren and children yet to be born. We must protect the forests for those who can't speak for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish and trees." --Qwatsinas (Hereditary Chief Edward Moody), Nuxalk Nation

Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven. ~Rabindranath Tagore

They were the raw materials of a planet dropped from an unseen quarry, which the vast chemistry of nature would anon work up, or work down, into the smiling and verdant plains and valleys of earth. The Maine Woods _Thoreau

While away in Maine we walked for hours enjoying the beauty of the landscape—

Sevendipity 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.
