The loveliest roses sometimes bear the ugliest thorns.
The past, the present, the future –The floodgates of time wait for Her footsteps Yet She resides forever –In the shape of a rising dawn,In the sound of a humming bee,In the chirping of a flying bird,In the birth of a newborn,In the blissful serenity of Nature;For Happiness is but a reflection of simplicity.
Plucking a rose only proves you desire it, but nurturing it proves you love it.
There is a natural magic in the feeling of love that has been nourished by Mother Nature through millions of years. It can make you reach the zenith of your true potential. It can awaken your mind towards your deepest powers, and make you endowed with tools of greatness that you can never access in an ordinary state of mind.
At that very first kiss of my life I felt something melt inside me that hurt in an exquisite way. All my longings, all my dreams and sweet anguish, all the secrets that slept deep within my limbic brain came awake. I felt billions of Beach Boys playing their sweet melody inside my heart in perfect harmony with the universe.
A bird that sings too much will only lose its voice, but a bird that does not sing at all will lose its symphonies.
The ocean does not lose its splendor because it lost a few drops.
If you live in the desert, view the sun not as your enemy, but as your friend. If you live in the wilderness, view nature not as your adversary, but as your companion.
The tallest trees sometimes grow from the smallest seeds.
The sun is intelligent because it never rises too early, and wise because it never sets too late.
The early bird gets the worm, and the early fox gets the bird.
A lion is born knowing how to hunt, but has to learn how to hunt well.
A tree is only as good as the seed it is stems from.
In my youth I had three teachers: friends, enemies, and books. In my adulthood I had three professors: God, nature, and life.
It is in vain to chase two birds at the same time, even if you have a thousand legs.
When hunting a lion it is wise to remind yourself that you too are being hunted.
A lion does not earn its crown quarreling with sheep.
If a lion invites you home for dinner, it is you he wants to serve as a meal to his guests.
A lion does not become king of the jungle hunting mice.
A wolf can only mock a lion thousands of miles away.
If you tend to a flower, it will bloom, no matter how many weeds surround it.
A bird will only eat from a hand it trusts.
An Oak tree is a daily reminder that great things often have small beginnings.
A bird does not give up flying because it failed on its first attempt.
A daisy blooming in a desert is worth more than a rose blossoming in a rainforest.
In a world full of daisies dare to be a rose.
While the whole world was asleep, the caterpillar was awake, working towards becoming a butterfly.
A rose does not answer its enemies with words, but with beauty.
Darkness is a prison from which only light escapes.
Nature has two powers: Her own physical power and the spiritual power of her beauty!
We like to romanticize the wild, raw, majestic beauty of nature. But when you take a closer look, nature is really just a giant fuckfest. That beautiful bird chirping? It's a mating call. That pretty little bird is trying to get laid. And why does the peacock have such beautiful feathers? To attract females. Because he's trying to get laid.
The earth sometimes rewards humans who do good works for the planet. Look out for unexpected windfalls of produce from the earth such as baskets of fruit or vegetables given to you unexpectedly, nature handcrafts, or a bunch of flowers picked from a beloved garden. These are all signs that the gifts not only came from the giver but from Mother Earth herself. - Fairy of the woods
The more a person knows the less they talk. I shall cease speaking and endeavor to instill a large band of silence inside myself in order to forge a deeper and closer relationship with all of nature. Only when I attain absolute quietude shall I understand the supreme virtue of humanity and understand the meaning of both life and death. Only when I achieve absolute stillness shall I come to a perfect realization of the meaning of existence innate in all things.
I like nature and I enjoy walking through the forest admiring its beauty and breathing not just the fresh air but, also the quietness and peacefulness of the place. There I feel serene. I feel I am accepted just the way I am whenever I arrive and for as long as I stay. Yes, there it doesn’t matter how I look, what country I come from, if I am from rich or poor family, what is my education, income, religion, sexual orientation and color of skin. It doesn’t even care if my hair looks messy and whether I wear the latest fashion cloths.
If you feel unhappy, sick or depressed, spend more time in nature and you will come to see the colors of life, you’ll come to experience the amazing changes that this world can do for you. The wonder of the purest and most honest beauty there is, one that is not here to define anyone or anything, but simply to let you see why this life is so worth living.
Without the intense touch of nature, you can never fully freshen yourself! Go for a camping and there both your weary mind and your exhausted body will rise like a morning sun!
Here is a wonderful habit: From time to time stop; move not; speak not; just watch the nature, because this is the best way to realise explicitly the miracles surrounding us!
Existence is a priceless gift and the beauties of nature are the priceless gifts of the existence!
Every New Year must be celebrated at the heart of nature - in the middle of a forest or by the side of a lake under billions of stars - because it is nature who has made our existence possible!
When Mother Nature speaks, even the Gods hold silence.
When the spirit of nature touches us, our hearts turn into a butterfly!
She ran as the first maples started to change color, then the oak.She jumped over roots, she sidestepped brambles, her footfalls echoing off plank bridges traversing streams.She was the first person at practice. The last to go home.She ran for speed. She ran for distance. She stretched carefully first thing in the morning and last thing before bed.
A poet warrior realizes both the brutality and the beauty in life, and apprehends that the suffering we tragically endure is partly what makes us human. What also makes us human is the ability to love, the ability to stand in nature’s presence, and to nurture this earthly paradise to tend to our family’s needs.
Humans are a terrestrial species biased toward attributing the forces we see around us to familiar forces on land. But the more we look, the more we learn that everything arises from the sea and everything falls away to the sea, and the deep blue home is home to every one of us, whether we are beings of water, air, rock, ice, or soil.
That is the normal succession of things in this part of the world; you can see the various stages all over Scratch Flat. There is, for example, a small red maple swamp above my house on the northwest side of the drumlin. The swamp was probably a pond sixty years ago, but now in summer, unless you know your trees, you cannot distinguish it from the surrounding woodlands. It is only in spring, when the groundwater levels are high, that the remnant of the ice sheet makes itself apparent. Then the waters rise around the trunks of the red maple trees and, after reaching a critical level, run down across the small meadow to the north of my house.
A river continues to flow despite losing a few drops at each turn.
A bee, though small, can still sting you; an elephant, though calm, can still trample you; a lion, though full, can still devour you.
Water has no mouth, but swallows many. Light has no hands, but touches many. Wind has no feet, but carries many. Darkness has no teeth, but devours many.
If you want to know how good a tree is, examine how many birds flock to feed off of its fruit.
It is the ant, not the lion, which the elephant fears.
You cannot control the ocean, but you can guide the rivers that feed it.
Spring is proof that there is beauty in new beginnings.
A wise bird does not lend even the smallest of its feathers to a hunter.
A thinker builds his castle of thoughts inside a garden of roses and it loses its relevance among the roses. He builds it along the shore and it’s trampled by the fury of waves eventually. He builds it on a cliff high enough and it becomes impregnable but out of reach. Such is the fate of that castle
Nature does not know of the challenges that face us. No matter what money difficulties we have, the sun will continue to shine. If it is health challenges we face, the grass will continue to grow. If a relationship is causing us grief, the ocean breeze will continue to blow. Taking a breath away from our challenges, and recognizing the nature around us, can help open the door to our Divine nature and allow the healing to begin.
