Whitt-Riverbend Park - Giles County, Virginia

“The sun shines not on us but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us. Thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing. The trees wave and the flowers bloom in our bodies as well as our souls, and every bird song, wind song, and tremendous storm song of the rocks in the heart of the mountains is our song, our very own, and sings our love.” 

 ― John Muir

Puddle Reflections

I measure life by my capacity to feel the fields. 

 To stand up to the hills. 

 To lay my hand in His. 

 I sound the deep-running things of God. 

 I sink the plummet of me deep into the fathoms of His meaning. 

 I reach Him with the long arms of my yearning.

~ Muriel Strode, A Soul's Faring

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
