There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature
- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

"Perhaps, after all, our best thoughts come when we are alone.
It is good to listen, not to voices but to the wind blowing, to the brook running cool over polished stones,
to bees drowsy with the weight of pollen.
If we attend to the music of the earth, we reach serenity.
And then, in some unexplained way, we share it with others."
Gladys Taber

Wishing you a mindful day
