Where We Ought To Feel


  A  L  O  H  A

Half of our mistakes in life arises from feeling where we ought to think, and thinking where we ought to feel. John Churton Collins




After rain, each droplet holds miniature worlds on a leaf. Sometimes little things are more than enough. Each raindrop carries the sky. Around us, life bursts with miracles sunshine, a leaf, raindrops. pages in the book of nature.
stories to my eye.

Cloudia Charters




If you feel pain,
you're alive.
If you feel
other people's pain, you're a human being. Tolstoy




To listen to stars and birds, 
babes and sages, 
with open heart;
To let the spiritual, 
unbidden and unconscious,
 grow up through the common-
-this is my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810 - 1884

  13. Wisdom often lies in balancing thought with compassion, while the quiet miracles of nature invite us to slow down, notice, and simply be present.
