of fresh new days

Oh, friend, you 

must employ them

Before they pass

Enjoy them; oh, 

enjoy them!"

will be forgiven."

 “When despair for the world

 grows in me, - I go 

and lie down where 

the wood drake rests in

 his beauty on the water, 

and the great heron feeds.

  

- I come into the peace of 

wild things who do not tax 

their lives with forethought 

or grief. I come into the 

presence of still water. -

- And I feel above me 

the day-blind stars 

waiting with their 

light. -

- For a time I 

rest in the grace 

of the world, 

and am free.”

             Wendell Berry

The trees bend to caress me

The shade hugs my heart"

and nothing exists? In that case, 
I definitely overpaid for my carpet."

pine needles or spongy grass 

is more welcome than the 

most luxurious Persian rug."

"I don't want to get to 

the end of my life and 

find that I lived just 

the length of it. 

I want to have lived 

the width of it as well."

"So sinks the day-star in the ocean bed,

And yet anon repairs his drooping head,

And tricks his beams, and with new-spangled ore,

Flames in the forehead of the morning sky."

                          John Milton

 "When people talk, 

listen completely.

 Most people

 never listen."

       Ernest Hemingway

 “If you are patient in 

one moment of anger, 

you will escape a 

hundred days of sorrow.”

             Chinese Proverb

" See the geese in chevron flight 

flapping and racing on before the snow 

They've got the urge for going 

and they've got the wings 

so they can go 

They get the urge for going…
