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

    Come with me into the woods where spring is
    advancing, as it does, no matter what,
    not being singular or particular, but one
    of the forever gifts, and certainly visible.

    “Until we have met the monsters in ourselves, we keep trying to slay them in the outer world. And we find that we cannot. For all darkness in the world stems from darkness in the heart. And it is there that we must do our work.”

    We can always be in  Springtime!
