accessing inner wisdom from our roots

This is a "slice" of a recently cut down tree in our local park!

I LOVED the figures which naturally appeared in this mirror image! Wisdom from the old tree, speaking to me!

 

“There are realities we all share,

regardless of our nationality, language, or individual tastes.

As we need food, so do we need emotional nourishment:

love, kindness, appreciation, and support from others.

We need to understand our environment and our relationship to it.

We need to fulfill certain inner hungers:

the need for happiness, for peace of mind, for wisdom.”

~ J. Donald Walters ~

 

(dedicated to an an amazingly insightful, brilliant, nourishing friend!)

 

“The more a person analyzes his inner self,

the more insignificant he seems to himself.

This is the first lesson of wisdom.

Let us be humble, and we will become wise.

Let us know our weakness,

and it will give us power.”

~ William Ellery Channing ~
