In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find."

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.

— William Blake

“The world's big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.”

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains un-awakened.

- Anatole France

"And when great souls die,

after a period peace blooms,

slowly and always

irregularly. Spaces fill

with a kind of

soothing electric vibration.

Our senses, restored, never

to be the same, whisper to us.

They existed. They existed.

We can be. Be and be

better. For they existed.”

― Maya Angelou
