The beauty of the sun rising...'when it does'... is so exquisite.

That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops — at all....

About budding trees and the flowers in May...

Weekends.....time to 'get things done' and hopefully have some time to relax...have fun...whatever....* 
I remember looking forward to them so much when I was little...we always did something fun on a Saturday....and in the Spring....just taking a drive in the country side was special...such a change from the city...so beautiful, and nature all around...the smells,...the sounds...I love those memories...*

Oh May....I time of the budding of the trees....the birds happily singing their songs......the start of flowers in bloom..the smells....the fresh air....I love it so*...........just cool enough, not too hot yet....Spring fever starts to break......and all the earth is coming alive................*





Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers — for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are. ~Osho







Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. ~Khalil Gibran





The poetry of the earth is never dead. ~John Keats
  



 You can’t be suspicious of a tree, or accuse a bird or a squirrel of subversion or challenge the ideology of a violet. ~Hal Borland, Sundial of the Seasons, 1964
