Bird Chatter Required

Male Cardinal in the Pines 

In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.

   Remember this, very little is needed to make a happy life.

Marcus Aurelius

Simply Happy

Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy.

What Matters

In the end nothing we do or say in this lifetime will matter as much as the way we have loved one another.

The Very Stuff That Discovery Is Made Of

Does anyone see the "partial" heart in the tree bark?

Actually - as I look at this even more - I see TWO partial hearts :) 

What seems mundane and trivial is the very stuff that discovery is made of. The only difference is our perspective, our readiness to put the pieces together in an entirely different way and to see patterns where only shadows appeared just a moment before.

  ~ Edward B. Lindaman

Finding The Way

Sit still my heart, do not raise your dust. 
 Let the world find its way to you.

~ Rabindranath Tagore

Embracing The Simple Things

 Sometimes, the simple things are more fun and meaningful than all the banquets in the world ...

Simple Things and Great Pleasure

I have found that some of the simplest things have given me the most pleasure. They didn't cost me a lot of money either. They just worked on my senses. Did you ever pick very large blueberries after a summer rain Walk through a grove of cottonwoods, open like a park, and see the blue sky beyond the shimmering gold of the leaves? Pull on dry woolen socks after you've peeled off the wet ones? Come in out of the subzero and shiver yourself warm in front of a wood fire? The world is full of such things. 

 ~ Richard Proenneke

I'm adding to his list of simple things:  

Birds Singing, Bees Buzzing, Butterflies Fluttering

What are some of the simple things in life that bring you great pleasure?

Female Cardinal - Simple Joy

The essence of life is not in the great victories and grand failures, but in the simple joys.

~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Carried By The Wind

I'm a Wild Seed Again, Let the Wind Carry Me

Joni Mitchell

Black Swallowtail Butterfly

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive. 
~ Eleonora Duse
