Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.”
—Henry David Thoreau |
“If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.”
—John Enoch Powell |
There is a road, no simple highway, between the dawn and the dark of night, and if you go, no one may follow, that path is for your steps alone.
—Jerry Garcia |
...there are millions of moments on the path...—Menachem Mendel Schneerson

“A beginning is only the start of a journey to another beginning.”

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn. —Elizabeth Lawrence

If what I say resonates with you, it is merely
because we are both branches on the same tree. — W.. B . Yeats |
There's a tree that grows in Brooklyn. Some people call it the
Tree of Heaven. No matter where its seed falls, it makes a tree which struggles to reach the sky. It grows in boarded up plots and out of neglected rubbish heaps. It grows up out of cellar gratings. It is the only tree that grows out of cement. It grows lushly ... survives without sun, water and seemingly without earth. It would be considered beautiful except that there are too many of it. — Betty Smith, |
Birth, life and death - each took place on the hidden side of a leaf.

Wonderful tracks on those leaves (even very small ones), and so beautifully photographed!

Very interesting. I love the caption of #5. Too right. But they are all beautiful and the title of this post well chosen ... So many paths that cross, yet so many that miss each other.
