The Breath of Nature

 

“With hues on hues

expression cannot paint

The breath of Nature,

And her endless bloom.”

James Thomson

 

“I go to nature to be soothed and healed,

and to have my senses put in order.”

John Burroughs

 

Nurture peace. Cultivate kindness. Carry the calm.

Everyday Magic

 

“The world is full of magic things,

patiently waiting

for our senses to grow sharper.”

W.B. Yeats

 

A budding rose, a bird calling to its mate, the pink clouds of sunset, the first star of evening – it only takes a moment to sharpen our senses to this everyday magic, to pause and actually taste our food, smell the morning air, feel the breeze, hear the birdsong, and see the beauty in the world around us – to rediscover the magic things.

Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, enjoy the magic, and carry the calm.
