Month: May 2018

Yes, You May

Posted by

 

“…the May month flaps its glad green leaves like wings,

Delicate-filmed as new-spun silk…”

– Thomas Hardy –

 

May – it’s a word full of encouragement and permission.

Yes, you May.

Give yourself permission to take time out and enjoy the glad green leaves.

Because it’s still May.

And you always may.

 

Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.

Even the Silence

“Even the silence has a story to tell you.

Just listen.

Listen.”

– Jacqueline Woodson –

 

The Hoh Rainforest in the Olympic National Park, known as the “quietest place in the Lower 48” states, is where acoustical ecologist Gordon Hempton recorded “one square inch of silence.” You can listen to the silence at this link. Enjoy!

Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.
