"Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living."

Blue Ridge Parkway Views - Trees and Fence

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.

The world is full of Poetry—the air 

Is living with its spirit; and the waves 

Dance to the music of its melodies, 

And sparkle in its brightness. 

Earth is veiled, 

And mantled with its beauty; and the walls, 

That close the universe, with crystal, in, 

Are eloquent with voices, that proclaim 

The unseen glories of immensity...

Fenced In

"The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. No, not at all. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be." 

 — Robert Fulghum

The more faithfully you listen to the voices within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside.

Riches in Nature

To be poor and be without trees, is to be the most starved human being in the world. To be poor and have trees, is to be completely rich in ways that money can never buy.

The Road Goes Ever On and On .....

Deerfield Trail - Blacksburg Virginia

The Road goes ever on and on 
           Down from the door where it began. 
                       Now far ahead the Road has gone, 
                                             And I must follow, if I can,
 Pursuing it with eager feet, 
         Until it joins some larger way 
               Where many paths and errands meet.

                              And whither then? I cannot say

Watch and Listen

The most uplifting music in the world is that of Mother Natures orchestra. Sit atop a hill or mountain, with a fabulous view and listen..... Hear the winds song, the birds chorus, and the far off sound of childrens laughter and song and the sounds of life that you can soundtrack to your own playlists.

With Open Eyes and An Open Heart

Awareness is a choice, and sometimes it takes effort. But it’s never disappointing if we truly put some effort into it. The rewards for our effort already surround us all the time, but they’re awards that we miss constantly until we make the decision to open our eyes and our hearts to the beauty that’s always everywhere.

The Investigation of Nature

The investigation of nature is an infinite pasture-ground where all may graze, and where the more bite, the longer the grass grows, the sweeter is its flavor, and the more it nourishes. 
~ Aldous Huxley

Roots of Kindness

A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions,

and the roots spring up and make new trees.

The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.

~Amelia Earhart

Sunrise Silhouette

I am in AWE of the wonders of Sunrise and Sunset.

There is a special beauty at those times, like none other in the day.

The difference between rising at five and seven o'clock in the morning, for forty years, supposing a man to go to bed at the same hour at night, is nearly equivalent to the addition of ten years to a man's life.
- Doddridge

Actually I don't know how true that quote is...I think it's more like

adding an additional 3 years...but I plan on adding all the years I can.

Morning is my FAVORITE time of the day.

A New Day

It's a new day. Yesterday's failure is redeemed at the sunrise
