When I have walk in places like lakes, hills, valleys, and occasionally mountains, I have enjoyed not just the various types of views but also the way the sights, the gentle breezes, the sun rays or the quiet way thoughts enter my mind and my heart. Below are some thoughts I have enjoyed.

When we walk on the earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us. John O’Donohue
Not every lake dreams to be an ocean. Blessed are the ones who are happy with whom they are. Mehmet Murat ildan
Make your heart be like a lake with a calm, still surface and great depths of kindness. Lao Tzu
Even the smallest act of caring for another person is like a drop of water. It will make ripples throughout the entire pond. Bryan Matteo
