Sunday, Wisdom and Nature

Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.
Pedro Calderon de la Barca



For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.
Martin Luther



Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson



The same woods,
the same tree,
the same leaves
mingling with each other,
sometimes
like kids, in groups,
sometimes,
like older adults,
sedate,
posing on a branch.

Some are green,
some appear light,
some dark.
They mingle
shrugging off
the opinionated dewdrops,
facing up
to a new morning
behind
a tough looking trunk
of
some tall leader.

The light, dark and green
transforms
into one another
in fun
cocking a snook at the sun.

We must be the only species
that talks about
color
and
race.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson



Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books. ~ John Lubbock
