Barnardsville

Wood Thrush

Babbling Creek

Blue sky

Wandering

But not lost

Homesick

But home

Friends song

Held in the notes of the Louisiana Waterthrush

Spring has sprung

Quiet mind

Space

And wonder..

Tick tock

Adventure calls..

Wonder

Mankind will not perish for want of information but only for want of appreciation. The beginning of our happiness lies in understanding that life without wonder is not worth living. What we lack is not a will to believe, but a will to wonder.

~ Abraham Joshua Heschel, God in Search of Mam: A philosophy of Judaism.

Stump

When we touch the earth, we take refuge in it. We receive its solid and inclusive energy. The earth embraces us and helps us transform our ignorance, suffering, and despair. Wherever we are, we can bow down to receive its energy of stability and fearlessness.

~ Thich Nhat Hahn
