"The earth has music for those who listen"
Shakespeare
Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone, or weary of life.
Rachel Carson
Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.
Gary Snyder
It is only a little planet but how beautiful it is.
Robinson Jeffers.
If you really think the economy is more important than the environment, try holding your breath whilst you count your money.
Dr Guy McPherson
The forest and I was all there was. In the deep still silence I could feel the Earth's beating heart.
Druids Trees.
When a man moves away from nature, his heart becomes hard.
Lakota
tenalach, n., the relationship one has with the land, the air, the water; a deep connection that makes you one with nature.
tenalach: a word used in the hills and mountains in the west of Ireland, allows one to literally hear the earth sing.
The human spirit needs places, where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man.
If we surrendered to earth's intelligence, we would rise up rooted, like trees.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Honor the sacred. Honor the Earth, our Mother. Honor the Elders.
Honor all with whom we share the Earth:- Four-leggeds, two-leggeds,
winged ones, Swimmers, crawlers, plant and rock people. Walk in
balance and beauty. "YES"!
Native American Encyclopedia
“If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small
things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and
immeasurable.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
I am grateful for today.
Absolute quiet, clear blue skies, sparkling clean water, loons, eagles, good friends, warm sunshine.
No worries allowed.
Life IS good.

The photos- the beauty- the time and effort to find all those quotes and pair them so beautifully with those words. I feel peaceful after taking my time reading through and seeing /feeling what you must have experienced as if I were there with you.
Thank you, Hilary- this post is truly a gift.
Just beautiful. It looks like home.. only with taller hills. ;)
What a balm in Gilead to me today, thank you, Hilary. No, you've not missed anything; I'm wearied to the point of emptiness. Too many people needing too much; my days begin with someone wanting something and end the same way. I need to do something for me and going off-line, for the most part, is something I need. That and not answering the telephone... grin. Be well and thank you again for your beautiful photos and quotes.
I want to be in that boat with you.....
