Love Works In Miracles

Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and strengthening the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.”
Marguerite de Valois

The Dance of Spirits

THE DANCE OF SPIRITS
Juno Cristi
I love you like the sky loves the sun and the moon,
allowing shadow and light to kiss in the sunset and the dawn.

I love you like the leaf loves the earth on which it rises and falls,
allowing it to sleep with the soil and awaken with the seedlings.

I love you like the ground loves the mist and the air that penetrates its being,
allowing precious morning dew to rise from its depths.

I love you like the tree loves its vines and the roots by which it stands,
allowing us to dance in the coming of the storm.

Nature and the Universe

A human being is part of the whole,
called by us "Universe,"
a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings
as something separated from the rest
- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires and
to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison
by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures
and the whole of nature in its beauty.
 Albert Einstein
Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth
are never alone or weary of life. Rachel Carson
If one way be better than another,
that you may be sure is Nature's way. Aristotle
Look deep into nature,
and then you will understand everything better. Albert Einstein
If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy,
if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you,
if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand,
rejoice, for your soul is alive. Eleonora Duse
Nature is the art of God. Thomas Browne
