“And then there crept
A little noiseless noise among the leaves,
Born of the very sigh that silence heaves.”
– John Keats –
Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.

“The aspens at the cross-roads talk together
Of rain, until their last leaves fall from the top.”
– Edward Thomas, “Aspens” –

Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.

Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit.
Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.
