In the Misty Morn

Posted by karynhenleyauthor

“I saw old Autumn in the misty morn

Stand shadowless like silence, listening

To silence.”

– Thomas Hood, “Ode: Autumn” –

Pause a moment to stand with old Autumn. Listen to silence.

Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.

Fast or Far?

“If you walk by yourself, you can go fast.

If you walk with others, you can go far.”

– old proverb –

Nurture peace within yourself and among others. Worry and agitation can be contagious. But so can serenity and calm. So cultivate inner peace, carry the calm, and may you go far.

Slant, Hue, and New Song

“Every night the river sings a new song.”

– Eva-Lis Wuorio –

Nature changes in subtle, quiet ways hour by hour, day in, day out. The slant of the sun, the placement of the stars, the hue of leaves, the folds of petals. And the song of flowing water. Perhaps we, too, change in subtle ways as we watch and listen with wonder.

Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.
