“Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.”-Herman Hesse
“Within you is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and by yourself.”
-Hermann Hesse
“The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.”
-Joseph Campbell
“While Eeyore frets …
… and Piglet hesitates
… and Rabbit calculates
… and Owl pontificates
…Pooh just is.”-The Tao of Pooh
Time in the forest, that supreme place of sanctuary and stillness, is a way of beauty and of finding the stillness and sanctuary within yourself…
a place to just be…
Be who you are.
Zion. The word evokes a place of sanctuary – of peace and refuge. The majestic red rocks of Zion National Park are in a state of continual change. The feeling of ancient wisdom, calm, peace, and movement – of evolving – are so palpable here. A deep knowing energy pervades the air, the earth, the rocks.
“Has joy any survival value in the operations of evolution?
I suspect that it does…”
-Edward Abbey
