"Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life." - Hermann Hesse 🎨 Julia Tar

"If you find someone who makes you smile, who checks up on you often to see if you're okay. Who watches out for you and wants the best for you. Who loves and respects you. Don't let them go. People like that are hard to find." ~ Franz Kafka 🎨 Stanislav Zhukovsky (1927)

Your Sunday Poem 🤌🏼✨️ • Mary Oliver •

"The secret of being happy consists of knowing how to enjoy yourself—enjoy being at table, in bed; enjoy standing up, sitting down; enjoy the nearest ray of sunshine, the slightest bit of landscape. In other words, love everything." ~ Gustave Flaubert 🎨 Henri Matisse

Damn. These words from Beatrix Potter really do hit home 🥹 "The place is changed now, and many familiar faces are gone, but the greatest change is myself. I was a child then, I had no idea what the world would be like. I wished to trust myself on the waters and the sea. Everything was romantic in my imagination. The woods were peopled by the mysterious good folk. The Lords and Ladies of the last century walked with me along the overgrown paths, and picked the old fashioned flowers among the box and rose hedges of the garden."

"Take care of your body as if you were going to live forever; and take care of your soul as if you were going to die tomorrow." ~ St. Augustine of Hippo

A gentle reminder All life is connected and all life deserves #respect and #compassion, however small 🐛🪲🐝 🕷 Step over ants put worms back in the grass, rescue baby caterpillars, release spiders back into your garden, open windows for bees to fly home. They are all little souls that deserve a life too
