Quietude is a state of calmness, a place of stillness, in which the seeds of love, joy and peace may quietly grow, flourish and blossom.

Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.

  • So beautiful, Nada!

  • When we stay in touch with nature, we remember that we are not separate from the earth, but part of its breath and rhythm. The rustle of leaves, the flow of rivers, and the stillness of mountains speak to something ancient within us—reminding us to slow down, to listen, and to simply be. Nature doesn’t demand, it invites. And in its quiet presence, we find the parts of ourselves we forgot we were missing.

    For still there are so many things
    that I have never seen:
    In every wood, in every Spring,
    there is a different green.

    ~ J. R. R. Tolkien

  • Every day, at least for a few minutes, go and be with the plants. Look at them and smile, touch them with love, and talk to them for a while. These little engagements will recuperate your heart and nurture your soul.

  • I come to my solitary woodland walk as the homesick go home. I thus dispose of the superfluous and see things as they are, grand and beautiful.

  • If you are in a bad mood, go for a walk. If you are still in a bad mood, go for another walk.

  • The beautiful spring came, and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also.

    “I went out on an April morning
    All alone for my heart was high,
    I was a child of the shining meadow,
    I was a sister of the sky.”

    Joy
    Rabindranath Tagore

    And Joy is Everywhere;
    It is in the Earth's green covering of grass;
    In the blue serenity of the Sky;
    In the reckless exuberance of Spring;
    In the severe abstinence of grey Winter;
    In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame;
    In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright;
    In Living;
    In the exercise of all our powers;
    In the acquisition of Knowledge;
    in fighting evils...
    Joy is there
    Everywhere.
