The Glorious Time Around Midsummer

Wander a whole summer if you can…time will not be taken from the sum of your life. Instead of shortening, it will definitely lengthen it and make you truly immortal.
~ John Muir

Grasp the Day

To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today, I took a walk in the woods. The weather was constantly changing between heavy rain showers and sunshine. There was a brisk breeze that kept the mosquitoes away. Even though the nearest town wasn’t too far, I only encountered two people during my two-hour walk along lakes, bogs, meadows, and through beautiful trees of all shades of green. Perhaps people were deterred by the threat of rain and mosquitoes, or both? Either way, the beautiful sky made for a splendid sight on this lovely day.

Wishing all of you a happy Nature Walk ❤️

The Earth has Music for Those who Listen

Here are some of Shakespeare’s most wise lines:

‘The earth has music for those who listen.’
‘One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.’
‘This our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.’

Perfection

There is tranquility along the lake. Nearby the water, a beech tree stands reflecting its perfect leaves in the lake. That tree is a wonder ❤️😊

When you need to find your way home…

Posted on 20. April 2024 by Hanna

There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.
~ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

“How would it be,” said Pooh slowly, “if, as soon as we’re out of sight of this Pit, we try to find it again?”
“What’s the good of that?” said Rabbit.
“Well,” said Pooh, “we keep looking for Home and not finding it, so I thought that if we looked for this Pit, we’d be sure not to find it, which would be a Good Thing, because then we might find something that we weren’t looking for, which might be just what we were looking for, really.”
“I don’t see much sense in that,” said Rabbit.
“No,” said Pooh humbly, “there isn’t. But there was going to be when I began it. It’s just that something happened to it on the way.”
~ Milne, A. A.

A piece of advice for Winnie the Pooh and Rabbit:

Use a map or GPS on your phone to navigate your way back home.
Look for familiar landmarks or signs that can help guide you back.
Ask for directions from someone nearby or at a local business.
Call a friend or family member for assistance in finding your way home.
If you are lost in a remote area, try to retrace your steps or follow a trail or road back to familiar territory.
Stay calm and avoid panicking, as this can make it harder to think clearly and find your way home.
If all else fails, consider calling a taxi or rideshare service to take you back home.

I’m home safe and sound! 😉😊
