KEEP CLOSE TO NATURE'S HEART...


“Keep close to Nature’s heart...and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.  Wash your spirit clean.”

 ~John Muir~
Thanks for looking and whatever you are doing today, may it be a great one.

    Nature is the perfect pacifier, if only the world could learn from it.

    I love nature but not a week in the woods unless of course I had an RV or cabin that had power and wifi…. I like my nature in a couple of hours here and there or sitting on a no peopled beach

      I'm thinking of a small log cabin for the woods, and definitely a beach where you can sit and walk in solitude :) Thanks Sandra!

    Being out in nature, and breathing in the fresh air, truly gives me much peace. I cannot imagine a world without trees, because they give us the air which we breathe. When my wife and I walk in nature, I like taking my time, absorbing everything that's around me, it's one of the ways in which I meditate.

    So nice to be able to get outdoors these days if only for a brief walk. We are staying well and hope you and Gregg will too.
