We are but one thread within it.

All things are bound together… all things connect.”

WOODENHEART

 

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is

in the eyes of others only green thing that stands in the way.

Some see Nature all ridicule an deformity,

and some scarce see Nature at all.

But to the eyes of the man of imagination,

Nature is Imagination itself.”

 

~ William Blake ~

THE BREAKFAST GUEST

 

“If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life,

it would be like hearing the grass grow

and the squirrel’s heart beat,

and we should die of that roar

which lies on the other side of silence.”
