Food for thought

by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never lose
an opportunity of seeing
anything beautiful, for beauty
is God's handwriting.

Flowers... are a proud assertion
that a ray of beauty outvalues
all the utilities of the world.by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Food for thought

'Tis the good reader
that makes the good book;in every book he finds passages
which seem confidences
or asides hidden from all else
and unmistakenly meant for his ear; the profit of books is according
to the sensibility of the reader; the profoundest thought
or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered
by an equal mind and heart.


~Ralph Waldo Emerson

To know even one life has breathed easier

because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded. by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Inner child

To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature.
Most persons do not see the sun.
At least they have a very superficial seeing.
The sun illuminates only the eye of the man,
but shines into the eye and heart of the child.
The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward
senses are still truly adjusted to each other;
who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today I am quite dreamy and although I have to leave for an appointment in about half an hour I am still in my house-suit sipping from my tea. I found these marbles in the cellar which I have had since I was a child. It gave me a strange feeling when I saw them again after so many years. Like they belonged to a distance past but at the same time I could feel that child vividly inside me.

It is good to treasure our inner child I guess....to keep that open pure view. Today I felt her deep inside and I promised myself to take good care of her. Have a playful day and take care :)


A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful,
full of wonder and excitement.
It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision,
that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring,
is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood.

~Rachel Carson

A closer look

What is a weed?
A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Good morning :) I am writing this post in the middle of the night hihi, but I wanted to share this little weed I found. When I took a closer look at it I saw that it actually was a beautiful little plant. Guess everything in life becomes more beautiful when you take the time to really look at it.

Have a nice day with many close looks

(I am going to sleep now and dream of weeds :)
