Nature Is Company

I can enjoy society in a room; but out of doors, nature is company enough for me.

~William Hazlitt~

If All The Skies

If all the skies were sunshine,

Our faces would be fain

To feel once more upon them

The cooling splash of rain.

If all the world were music,

Our hearts would often long

For one sweet strain of silence,

To break the endless song.

If life were always merry,

Our souls would seek relief,

And rest from weary laughter

In the quiet arms of grief.

~Henry van Dyke~

Enjoy Life

If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time.  Not tomorrow, nor next year, nor in some future life after we have died.  The best preparation for a better life next year is a full, complete, harmonious, joyous life this year.  Our beliefs in a rich future life are of little importance unless we coin them into a rich present life.  Today should always be our most wonderful day.

~Thomas Dreier~

Thy Burden

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.

~Psalms 55:22~

Personal Integrity

Let Go

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one we have waiting for us.

~Joseph Campbell~

Courage

Courage is fear that has said it’s prayers.

~Karl Barth~
