Nature’s peace – from Reverie

Questo bellissimo post è un regalo di Reverie che ultimamente associa spesso dei dipinti particolarmente significanti a delle riflessioni a tema.

In questo caso queste frasi si addicono alla mia prossima partenza per un paio di settimane di vacanza e alla mia voglia di natura anche se non saranno monti ma mare …

“Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer.

Camp out among the grasses and gentians of glacial meadows,

in craggy garden nooks full of nature’s darlings.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings,

Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy,

while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed,

but nature’s sources never fail.”

~John Muir

[Mount Tallac, 1880 – Thomas Hill]
