A moon snail grows between the rocks—

“I am not bound for any public place, but for ground of my own where I have planted vines and orchard trees, and in the heat of the day climbed up into the healing shadow of the woods.”

Wendell Berry

each leaf a small miracle

“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.”

C.S. Lewis

to create a peep hole

“The world is too dangerous for anything but truth and too small for anything but love.”

William Sloan Coffin

symbol

“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.”

Vincent van Gogh

pileated woodpeckers love these woods

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I have not lived.”

Henry David Thoreau

clearing some space

“Fields have eyes and woods have ears”

Proverb

Still found within twenty giant steps—in all directions.

“Once I planned to write a book of poems entirely about the things in my pocket. But I found it would be too long; and the age of the great epics is past.”

G. K. Chesterton
