Saturday Morning Rain

Sometimes, there is just nothing better on a Saturday morning than sitting on a porch watching it rain.

4 Observations (from Others)

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.

--  Aristotle


Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.

-- Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder

 

Nature is one of the only places where you don’t have to perform. When you’re outside, your brain isn’t being asked to respond to emails, alerts or decisions. It can simply be present. 

-- Susan Albers, How Nature Can Improve Your Mental Health

 

Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.

--  George Washington Carver
