~ Courage In The Mist ~

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait... When doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage... So long as mists envelop you, be still... Be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists... as it surely will... Then act with courage....

~ Climb Every Mountain ~

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

Each moment of the year has its own beauty . . . a picture which was never before... and shall never be seen again....

~ Warm Winds of Heaven ~

May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
In many snows
And may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder....

~ Dance With Nature ~

We are surrounded and embraced by her...
Incapable of escaping and incapable of delving deeper into her...
Without invitation or warning, she brings us into the rhythm of her dance and sweeps onward with us...
Until we are exhausted and fall from her arms....

Let me sigh upon a reed...
Or in the woods, with leafy din...
Whisper the still evening in....

~ Let The Mountains Have You ~ 

Once in a while you find a place on earth that becomes your very own. A place undefined. Waiting for you to bring your color, your self. A place untouched, unspoiled, undeveloped. Raw, honest, and haunting. No one, nothing is telling you how to feel or who to be. Let the mountains have you for a day....

~ Amidst The Simple Beauty of Nature ~ 

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside... Somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God... Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be, and that God wishes to see people happy... Amidst the simple beauty of nature....

~Anne Frank~

~ Beneath These Western Skies ~ 

...I gotta be where I can see those Rocky Mountains... Ride my horse and watch an eagle fly... I gotta live my life and write my songs... beneath these Western Skies....

~ The Silence of Nature ~  

The silence of nature is very real...
It surrounds you...
You can feel it...

~ Little Girl's Paradise ~   

God made the world with its towering trees...
Majestic mountains and restless seas...
Then stopped and said, “It needs one more thing...
Someone to laugh, dance and sing...
To walk in the woods and gather flowers...
To commune with nature in quiet hours"...
So God created little girls...
With laughing eyes and bouncing curls...
With joyful hearts and infectious smiles...
Enchanting ways and feminine wiles...
And when He'd completed the task he'd begun...
He was pleased and proud of the job he'd done...
For the world, when seen through little girl's eyes...
Greatly resembles paradise....
