Rain Drops Keep Falling

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.

Live Like You Are Extraordinary (You Are!)

Live like you are extraordinary. 

Love like you admire someone's most painful burden. 

Breathe like the air is scented with lavender and fire. 

See like the droplets of rain are each exquisite. 

Laugh like the events of existence are to be cherished. 

Imagine like there is magic in your fingertips. 

Give freedom to your instincts, to your spirit, to your longing.

Decorated by Nature

I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk, opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets. It has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day. It has been a return to the primitive and the peaceful. Whenever the pressure of our complex city life thins my blood and benumbs my brain, I seek relief in the trail; and when I hear the coyote wailing to the yellow dawn, my cares fall from me - I am happy.

Crafted By Nature

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.

~ William Blake

Lessons from the Journey

The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.

~Don Williams, Jr.

Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.

Dipped in Diamonds

To the dull mind all nature is leaden. 
To the illumined mind 
the whole world burns and sparkles with light. 
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Diamond Droplets

 May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow. 
May the soft winds freshen your spirit. 
May the sunshine brighten your heart. 
May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you, 
and may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.

~ Irish Blessing



 

Nature's Jewels

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leave you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing, and listen as heaven whispers, "Do you like it? I did it just for you.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

Over the Rainbow

 I am quite fascinated by the spider art (ie, webs) I find when I am out for my morning walk.  This one had a rainbow of colors which were actually flowers/leaves that were located behind the web.

Pleasure is spread through the earth
In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find.

At the Center of It All

One amazing morning I went out in search of webs ~ and I found them!

Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. 
~André Gide

Morning Dew

The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.
~ John Muir

After the Rain

Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth;  without rain, there would be no life.
