A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.

Flower meets Man
To The Bottle
–
To heal my heart and drown my woe
–
Rain may fall, and wind may blow
–
And many miles be still to go
–
But under a tall tree will I lie
–
And let the clouds go sailing by
Natures Healing Powers!
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring
Rock sitting
“It is necessary … for a man to go away by himself … to sit on a rock … and ask, ‘Who am I, where have I been, and where am I going?”
― Carl Sandburg
Awake My Soul
How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes.
I struggle to find any truth in your lies.
And now my heart stumbles on things I don’t know.
My weakness I feel I must finally show.
—
Lend me your hand and we’ll conquer them all.
But lend me your heart and I’ll just let you fall.
Lend me your eyes. I can change what you see.
But your soul you must keep, totally free.
—
Awake my soul…
—
In these bodies we will live,
in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love,
you invest your life.
—
Awake my soul…
—
For you were made to meet your maker
—
Awake my soul…

Living life no matter what!
Life changes every minute of every day. You lose friends. You gain friends. You realize your friend wasn’t ever really your good friend. You look for love. You find love. You lose love. You realize that all along you’ve been loved. You laugh. You cry. You laugh so hard that you cry. You do this. You do that. You really wish you hadn’t done that. You learn from that and are glad that you did. You have your ups. You have your downs. You look at others and wish you were them. You then realize who you are and are glad that you are you. You love life. You hate life. BUT in the end, you just find yourself to be living life no matter what. -via Esona Matita Lubuzo
Happiness
“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert
