“By cultivating the beautiful,
we scatter the seeds of
heavenly flowers; as by
doing good, we cultivate
those that belong to humanity.”
~ Robert A. Heinlein
The Seeds of Humanity

A Rose is a Rose
“If you truly love nature,
you will find beauty
everywhere.”
~ Vincent Van Gogh
Out of the Dark, Beauty Appears
“Whether one believes in a religion or not,
and whether one believes
in rebirth or not,
there isn’t anyone who doesn’t
appreciate kindness and compassion.”
~ Dalai Lama
Look Up Through the Treetops
“The sensitive ear of the musician
detects a certain musical note
in every city which is different
from that of another city.
He hears in each little brook
a new melody, and to him
the sound of wind
in the treetops of different forests
give a varying sound.”
~ Max Heindel
The Bare Beauty of Logs
“The quiet rhythmic monotone
of the wall of logs
fills one with the rustic peace
of a secluded nook
in the woods.”
~ Gustav Stickley
The Beauty in Glass
“That we find a crystal
or a poppy beautiful
means that we are less alone,
that we are more deeply inserted
into existence than
the course of a single life
would lead us to believe.”
~ John Berger
It’s Those Unexpected Pleasures…..
Life is filled with unexpected blessings. My husband and I took a leisurely day trip wandering country roads in search of sweet bakery treats freshly served al fresco. We picnicked on apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, and creme-filled puffs of dough washed down with a thirst-quenching icy apple cider slushy. Moments later, the owner of the orchard invited us to take a sneak peak at the outdoor preparations for a wedding happening around the pond later that afternoon. We were swept away on his four-wheel golf cart to capture romance in progress. Blessings!
The Beauty of a Peony
“I want to encourage women
to embrace their own
uniqueness. Because just like
a rose is beautiful, so is a
sunflower, so is a peony. I
mean, all flowers are beautiful
in their own way, and that’s
like women, too.”
~ Miranda Kerr
