"Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way." -- John Muir

“He could tell by the way animals walked that they were keeping time to some kind of music. Maybe it was the song in their own hearts that they walked to.” 
― Laura Adams Armer, Waterless Mountain Dew

"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
~ John Muir

Hump Day Thoughts...

The sum of the whole is this: walk and be happy; walk and be healthy. The best way to lengthen out our days is to walk steadily and with a purpose.
Charles Dickens

On Walking

"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." ~John Muir

And you?

A bird does not sing because it has an answer.

It sings because it has a song

---- Chinese Proverb

Exactly

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church

I keep it, staying at Home

With a Bobolink for a Chorister

And an Orchard, for a Dome

--Emily Dickinson

"UNTIL ONE HAS LOVED AN ANIMAL

PART OF THEIR SOUL REMAINS UNAWAKENED"

Talk to the Animals

Talk To The Animals

by Chief Dan George

If you talk to the animals,

They will talk to you.

And you will know each other.

If you do not talk to the animals,

you will not know them.

And what you do not know, you will fear.

What one fears

One destroys.
