A happy place
“Find what brings you joy and go there.” ~Unknown
Hidden
The human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret kept, in silence sealed;
The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures,
Whose charms were broken if revealed.
~Charlotte Bronte
Wild geese
… Something told the wild geese
It was time to fly,
Summer sun was on their wings,
Winter in their cry.
~Rachel Field
Silence
“It was entirely silent and I tried to breathe its peace.” ~Sebastian Faulks
Progress
“Never discourage anyone… who makes continual progress, no matter how slow.” ~Plato
Bur Marigold
“The earth laughs in flowers.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dreaming
“In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die:
Ever drifting down the stream- Lingering in the golden gleam – Life, what is it but a dream?”
~Lewis Carroll
Purple Pickerelweed
“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God’s handwriting – a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Water lilies
Large floating green leaves — Decked with white showy flowers — Resting on the lake
