Forest In The Autumn

One great sage once asked: - How did you get along with your wife of 40 years, and never quarrel?

 He replied: - Whenever she was upset and tried to quarrel, I kept quiet. And when I was upset and wanted to quarrel, she remained calm.

They say nature is cruel

but one gaze at you 

and I ask myself

how can you be cruel?

you give me peace

you give me fresh air to breath

you soothe my eyes

you calm my mind

I fall into gentle slumber...

Forest

why does the color green calm us?

because it is nature in peaceful repose

why does the color black frighten us?

because that is when nature is angry

why does the color red excite us?

because the black night sky turns red when a storm is about to come

Peace Of Mind Images: Forest

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Cottage. In The Mountains. In The Forests.

One would love to live in them.....

Forests...

To be as the eagle and hawk as they soar
To contemplate beneath a wild waterfall's roar
The forest has harmony this fine summer's day
The forest will speak to those who will stay


Of the things born of nature the forest will speak
The things of the wild, the strong and the weak
Some people would say this is all foolish talk,
Those with understanding know we walk the same walk


The forest will speak if only you listen
Of trees and of creatures and of rivers that glisten
From the high nest of the hawk
To the low swamp of the heron


The forest asks but one thing
It asks that you listen.

In my deepest troubles, I frequently would wrench myself from the persons around me and retire to some secluded part of our noble forests.
John James Audubon 

The clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness.
- John Muir

In some mysterious way woods have never seemed to me to be
static things. In physical terms, I move through them; yet in
metaphysical ones, they seem to move through me.
- John Fowles


God is the experience of looking at a tree and saying, "Ah!"
- Joseph Campbell

Going to the woods is going home.
- John Muir

I believe in the cosmos. All of us are linked to the cosmos. Look at
the sun: If there is no sun, then we cannot exist. So nature is my god.
To me, nature is sacred; trees are my temples and forests are
my cathedrals.
- Mikhail Gorbachev, 1990

In the woods we return to reason and faith.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection
of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.
- Gandhi
