but only a few will catch your heart...pursue those.”

but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it.

peace of mind


If there is to be any peace
it will come through being,
not having.

friendly neighbors


We are surrounded by cows where I live,
and they are very friendly neighbors

Sitting quietly,
doing nothing,
spring comes,
and the grass grows by itself”

"I love and I love!"


Do you ask what the birds say?
The sparrow, the dove,The linner and thrush say,
"I love and I love!"
In the winter they're silent
- the wind is so strong;
What is says, I don't know,
but it sings a loud song.
But green leaves,
and blossoms,
and sunny warm weather,
And singing, and loving
- all come back together.
But the lark is so brimful of gladness and love,
The green fields below him,
the blue sky above,
That he sings,
and he sings;
and for ever sings he
-"I love my Love, and my Love loves me!"
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Follow your heart


Remember to
but be quiet for a while first.
Ask questions, then feel the answer.
Learn to trust your heart.”

We need hugs


We need 4 hugs a day for survival.
We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance.
We need 12 hugs a day for growth.”
