The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity . . . and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.

ReplyDeleteHelen Keller
We often don't see the beauty in the simple things around us and take it all for granted way too often. I think what Helen Keller is trying to say is that we don't need expensive, materialistic items to comfort us because everything we could possibly need can be found in nature.

Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars...
and if you have eyes you will be able to see
that the whole existence is joyful.
Everything is simply happy.
Trees are happy for no reason;
they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents
and they are not going to become rich
and they will never have any bank balance.
Look at the flowers- for no reason.
It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.

ReplyDeleteI believe Thoreau is right because we forget that the earth is a living thing and we take advantage of its resources...one day it's not going to be living.

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life. ~John Burroughs

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the nature quote that Carly Legg posted. I think that I enjoyed it so much because it made me reflect on the beauty of nature and it reminded me of how often we don't acknowledge its beauty because we are so absorbed in what benefits we can receive from it. I thought everyone's posts were great but Carly's quote by Osho was one that I feel stood out the most to me.

I think that this quote means that the Alice Walker is saying that nature should be enjoyed adn protected. Earth wants us to naturally enjoy what it has to offer.

ReplyDelete“In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.”
- Alice Walker
Looking at things in nature and seeing the imperfections and how "unusual" we consider it really makes it beautiful to me and it is a fascinating thing. The imperfections seem to tell a story about everything in nature and this is what I love about science.

ReplyDelete"Nature, Nature,

I think that this is what everyone is saying to themselves, but little people are doing as their saying. Of course we don't want nature to go away, but are we looking deep into the reaons for why it is?

ReplyDeleteWe tend to think of beautiful things being perfect but sometimes the most beautiful are the items that are everything but perfect, particularly nature's items. As a photographer, I pick out the unusual and embrace it. Throughout years of photographing, I've found this to be very true.
i really enjoyed Mallory Mitchell's quote by Alice Walker. Not everything in nature is perfectly shaped, but its still beautiful in a deep, haunting way.

ReplyDeleteI've heard of Lao Tzu before in Chinese movies but I didn't know he had quotes. In this quote I think he is saying that everything in nature does not speed up or slow down. Nature is uniform and we attain our necessary resources from nature.

ReplyDeleteNature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. ~Lao Tzu
This quote is correct. Nature takes thousands, even millions of years to perform some of its processes, yet in the end, they are accomplished. We as humans are slaves to nature, and nature will accomplish its will, even if that means the destruction of mankind.
In response to jacinta...
ReplyDeleteI like your quote about nature not hurrying because it is so common that we get busy and don't take the chance to look around us. It is important to slow down and experience things as well as get things done.

ReplyDeleteI like how the quote by Lao Tzu reiterates the fact that nature achieves its work at its own pace. Yes, this pace may not be acceptable according to everyones standards but the results created by the pace of nature are quite brilliant and marvelous.

I am commenting on behalf of Jacinta Bruinton's post. I clearly agree with this quote, because nature really isn't rushed or forced, yet it still gets the everything done. Give stuff time, and it can complete itself on its own.
Comment on Jacinta's Quote: Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. - Lao Tzu
ReplyDeleteI like this quote a whole lot, it's very true and also relate-able to real-life situations; it's saying if you just go with the flow and let everything run it's course instead of rushing through things, it will all work out in the end.
