“If you take a flower 
in your hand and 
really look at it,
 it's your world 
for a moment.” 
                            Georgia O'Keeffe











" Life is full of beauty. 
Notice it. Notice the 
bumble bee, the small child, 
and the smiling faces. 
Smell the rain, and 
feel the wind. Live 
your life to the fullest 
potential, and fight 
for your dreams."
                                 Ashley Smith











Morning Marin Wetlands

“My temple is the swamp… 
When I would recreate myself, 
I seek the darkest wood, 
the thickest and most ...
impenetrable  dismal, swamp. 
I enter a swamp as a sacred place, 
a sanctum sanctorum… 
I seemed to have reached 
a new world, so wild a place…
far away from human society. 
What’s the need of visiting 
far-off mountains and bogs, if 
a half-hour’s walk will carry me
into such wildness and novelty.” 
                                     Thoreau

Spring Abstracts

A  L  O  H  A !

" I looked at my hands to see 
if I was the same person. 
There was such a 
glory over everything.
 The sun came up like 
gold through the trees, 
and I felt like I 
was in heaven."
                    Harriet Tubman
















“Nature will bear 
the closest inspection. 
She invites us to lay
 our eye level with
 her smallest leaf, and take 
an insect view of its plain.”
                     Thoreau















“Never say there is 
nothing beautiful in
 the world anymore. 
There is always something 
to make you wonder 
in the shape of a tree, 
the trembling of a leaf.”
                Albert Schweitzer

Besotted am I
by this Spring of Springs
my first in 30 years.
And sweet it is.
Your visits tremble,
vibrating like
flashing leaves
in the Dervish
dancing of
my mind.

Thank You!
Fondly, cloudia
