Nectar of Peace

“Over and over in the butterfly we see the idea of transcendence. In the forest we see not the inert but the aspiring. In water that departs forever and forever returns, we experience eternity.”― Mary Oliver, Long Life: Essays and Other Writings

“On the windless days, when the maples have put forth their deep canopies, and the sky is wearing its new blue immensities, and the wind has dusted itself not an hour ago in some spicy field and hardly touches us as it passes by, what is it we do? We lie down and rest upon the generous earth. Very likely we fall asleep.”― Mary Oliver, Long Life: Essays and Other Writings

Beauty and grace aplenty.
Pay attention.
Gaze.
Wander.
Lie down.
Transcend.
Flow with the river.
Floating with delight like the butterfly.
Peace.
Seek, offer, receive.

“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
