Here are some writings that I typed, using a booklet I found in a drawer here at home. (o_O)
There are free verse poems, all talking about nature and beauty…
The human soul
needs actual beauty
even more than bread
D.H. Lawrence
Look for a lovely thing and
you will find it
It is not far–
I never will be far.
Sara Teasdale
Nature is painting for us,
day after day, pictures of
infinite beauty if only we have
eyes to see them…
John Ruskin
What is this life if,
full of care,
We have no time
To stand
and stare….
No time to turn
at beauty’s glance,
And watch her feel,
how they can dance….
William Henry Davies
The wealth of a man is
the number of things, which he
loves and blesses, which he is
loved and blessed by.
Thomas Carlyle
You ask why I make my
home in the mountain forest
and I smile, and am I silent
and even my soul
remains quiet:
it lives in the other world
which no one owns.
The peach trees blossom.
The water flows
LI PO
Do we need to make
a special effort to enjoy
the beauty of the blue sky? Do
we have to practice to be able
to enjoy it? No, we just enjoy
it. Each second,
each minute of our lives
can be like this.
Wherever we are, any time, we
have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine,
the presence of each other, even
the sensation of our breathing.
We don’t need to go to China
to enjoy the blue sky. We don’t
have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing.
WE can be in touch with these
things right now
Thich Nhat Hanh
In beauty may I walk
All day long may I walk
Through the returning
seasons may I walk
on the trail marked
with pollen may I walk
With grasshoppers
about my feet may I walk
With dew about my feet
may I walk
With beauty
may I walk.
the Navajo
The hours when
the mind is absorbed
by beauty are the
only hours we live
Richard Jeffries
A galaxy of stars,
a flowering cherry tree,
the hush of wavelets
on an empty beach, a scurrying mouse,
a blackbird calling in
the last of light
–all yours.
A part of your inheritance.
Pam Brown
The best and the most beautiful
things in the world
cannot be seen or even
touched.
They must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller who I admire. She’s a blind lady but she’s also very smart. I forgot all the things I knew about her though…
True beauty must come,
Must be grown, from within….
Ralph W. Trine
Do not go to the garden
Of flowers!
In your body
Is the garden of flowers.
Kabir
Though we travel
The world over
To find the beautiful,
We must carry it with us
Or we find it not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge was inherent
in all things. The world was
a library and its books were
the stones, leaves, grass, brooks….
We learned to do what we only
the students of nature ever learn,
and that was to feel beauty.
Luther Standing Bear
