The soul is no traveller; the wise man stays at home,
And when his necessities, his duties, on any occasion call him from his house,
Or into foreign lands, he is at home still, and shall make men sensible___
By the expression of his countenance, that he goes the missionary of wisdom
And virtue, and visits cities and men like a sovereign,
And not like an interloper or a valet. Self-Reliance~rwE
We ascribe 'BEAUTY' to that:
- ~Which is simple;
- ~Which has no superfluous parts;
- ~Which exactly answers its end;
- ~Which stands related to all things;
- ~Which is the mean of many extremes.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson--
Faith and love are apt to be spasmodic__ in the best minds.Men live the brink of mysteries___
Harmonies into which they never enter
And with their hands on the door-latch__ they die outside.--Ralph Waldo Emerson--
The sense of death is most in apprehension;And the poor beetle, that we tread upon,In corporal sufferance finds a pang__
As great as when a giant dies. Measure for Measure. ACT III Scene 1.
"For generations upon generations, people have looked up beneath the mighty Oak. Some gain strength and spiritual renewal. The outside world can be forgotten and our inner private world can slip back into perspective. An Oak can help one to find understanding and vision, gained from unexpected experiences. This in turn will bring strength and courage, to face the facts of whatever life has offered but to you?An Oak tree's mighty presence can even help restore faith in ourselves. Within this tree's refreshment lies the ability to focus and aim for what we seek, to understand life's new turns. It is well worth finding time to sit under an Oak tree and to receive it's qualities so to offered. Remember to give thanks, not because the tree needs our thanks; but to keep open ones mind: open to love and respect for earth's trees and all of our blessings from Nature."
