Came across this passage on Facebook – love it! Note: photo is my own from a couple of years ago…..looking forward to spring!
“Drink water from the spring where horses drink. The horse will never drink bad water. Lay your bed where the cat sleeps. Eat the fruit that has been touched by a worm. Boldly pick the mushroom on which the insects sit. Plant the tree where the rabbit digs. Build your house where the dog lays in the sun. Dig your fountain where the birds hide from heat. Go to sleep and wake up at the same time with the birds – you will reap all of the days golden grains. Eat more green – you will have strong legs and a resistant heart, like the beings of the forest. Swim often and you will feel on earth like the fish in the water. Look at the sky as often as possible and your thoughts will become light and clear. Be quiet a lot, speak little – and silence will come in your heart, and your spirit will be calm and full of peace.”

Very inspiring words of wisdom. A wonderful way to end the day. Now if we could only go to bed when the birds go to bed. Peace.
