"The trees, the wind, the birds, the mountains,
Everything inside us and around us
Wants to reflect itself in us.
We don't have to go anywhere to obtain the truth.
We only need to be still,
and things will reveal themselves in the still water of our heart."
These are the words of
Thich Nhat Han
from the poem 'Everything'
in his book 'Your True Home'.
I'm spending as much time as possible outside
in the sunshine
beneath the trees.
Summertime here has been glorious this year.
Such lovely words, and photos.

ReplyDeletesuch beauty!
ReplyDeleteThe stones look just right with the fabric patch technique on either side. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSweet Friend, that little red patch is a gem, literally and figuratively. You are a gem! Every time I see a pretty rock or stone, I think of you. I like to rock and roll with you in the safe and serene way.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words. xx
