The entire ocean is affected by a pebble .~Blaise Pascal~ Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere. ~Blaise Pascal~ "For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance." -kahlil gibran Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature.

We flatter those we scarcely know, We please the fleeting guest, And deal full many a thoughtless blow To those who love us best. ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox~ "Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke~ "Why should man expect his prayer for mercy to be heard by What is above him when he shows no mercy to what is under him?" ~Pierre Troubetzkoy~ Mankind: Nature's Most Destructive Parasite! ~unknown~ “So, often in the course Of life's few fleeting years, A single pleasure costs The soul a thousand tears.” ~Francis William Bourdillon~ "Nature never did betray the heart that loved her." -William Wordsworth-
