"Nature reaches out to us with welcoming..." - Quote by Khalil Gibran
Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms, and bids us enjoy her beauty; but we dread her silence and rush into the crowded cities, there to huddle like sheep fleeing from a ferocious wolf.

“Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.And stand together yet not too near together:For the pillars of the temple stand apart,And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”
“If I could take your troublesI would toss them into the sea,But all these things I'm findingAre impossible for me.I cannot build a mountainOr catch a rainbow fair,But let me be what I know best,A friend that is always there.”
“The best love come from the heart, not from the mouth.”

More on Silence
“Space and silence are two aspects of the same thing. The same no-thing. They are externalization of inner space and inner silence, which is stillness: the infinitely creative womb of all existence.”
“Each found her greatest safety in silence.”
“Silence is not always a sign of wisdom, but babbling is ever a mark of folly.”
