“One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between man and nature shall not be broken.” —Leo Tolstoy (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqbA4vZFyxm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fc5y4592h9z1

How sweet the morning air is! See how that one little cloud floats like a pink feather from some gigantic flamingo. Now the red rim of the sun pushes itself over the London cloud-bank. It shines on a good many folk, but on none, I dare bet, who are on a stranger errand than you and I. How small we feel with our petty ambitions and strivings in the presence of the great elemental forces of Nature! Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqIyuklFWRB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e44olg7cmcxw

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds. Carl R. Rogers, A Way of Being (at Mission Beach Boardwalk) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bps40rqFIDj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ssrnyy62kyux

Thank you, dear God [divinity/Nature/Luminous], for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough. Thank you for the rain. And for the chance to wake up...

For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.

It was the time when they loved each other best, without hurry or excess, when both were most conscious of and grateful for their incredible victories over adversity. Life would still present them with other mortal trails, of course, but that no longer mattered: they were on the other shore.

“I think us here to wonder, myself. To wonder. To ask. And that in wondering bout the big things and asking bout the big things, you learn about the little ones, almost by accident. But you never know nothing more about the big things than you start out with. The more I wonder, the more I love.” - Alice Walker, The Color Purple (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo6bw16Hvgf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lvpvlmueeq20

The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper. W.B. Yeats (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BofYDWPnOGf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t99w5zqh14v4
