Nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm.

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.

Listening for Nature’s Secret Message

“The whole culture is telling you to hurry,

while the art tells you to take your time.

Always listen to the art.”

Junot Diaz

 

I’ve posted nature’s art in bloom and shadow below. Notice nature’s art in your own part of the world this week. Listen to it telling you to take your time. Explore. Enjoy. Wonder.

Nurture peace, cultivate loving kindness, and carry the calm.
