The Art of Nature

The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep. ~Paul Strand

The artist is the confident of nature, flowers carry 

on dialogues with him through the graceful bending 

of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms. Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs toward him. ~Auguste Rodin

Bloom Unfold

My own eyes are no more scouts on a

preliminary search, for the camera's eye

may entirely change my idea. ~Edward Weston

How does the Meadow flower bloom unfold?

Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root, and in that freedom bold. ~William Wordsworth

Face the Sunshine

But friendship is precious, not only in 

the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and

thanks to a benevolent arrangement the

greater part of life is sunshine. ~Thomas Jefferson

Keep your face always toward the sunshine -

and shadows will fall behind you. ~Walt Whitman

Treetop Reign

How did it happen that their lips came

together? How does it happen that birds

sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds,

that the dawn whitens behind the stark

shapes of trees on the quivering summit of

the hill? A kiss, and all was said. ~Victor Hugo

In almost everything that touches our

everyday life on earth, God is pleased when

we're pleased. He wills that we be as free 

as birds to soar and sing our maker's 

praise without anxiety. ~Aiden Wilson Tozer

Beauty Blooms

When the flower blooms, the bees 

come uninvited. ~Ramakrishna

Life comes before literature, as the material always comes before the work. The hills are full of marble before the world blooms with statues. ~Phillips Brooks

Looking For Spring

Let us be grateful to people who make us

happy, they are the charming gardeners 

who make our souls blossom. ~Marcel Proust

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which

springs from the soul. ~Henry Ward Beecher

Put A Little Love In Your Heart

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. ~Oscar Wilde

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, 

and man cannot live without love. ~Max Muller

Happy Valentine's Day!
