Walt Whitman
“And now it [grass] seems to me the beautiful uncut hair of graves,

Tenderly will I use you curling grass,
It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men,
It may be if I had known them I would have loved them,
It may be you from old people, or from offspring taken soon out of their
mother's laps,
And here you are the mothers' laps."

- Song of Myself: 6”
Walt Whitman

Henry David Thoreau
“If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.”
Henry David Thoreau, Life Without Principle

Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

Willa Cather

Willa Cather, My Antonia

Michael Whone
“I suspect that it was simply that I had admired the earth, and the universe. The more I say and think that I admire it, and love it, the more it gives me what I admire, or strange coincidences that leave me in more awe than I was before.”
Michael Whone, Winter Lyric

“All any alienated man can hope for is to find a livelihood that fits his expanding sense of self. Blessed is he who accepts without complaint the toil that is suited for the riot of his soul. Blessed is he who discovers a calling that he willingly devotes his entire heart and soul to accomplishing. Blessed is he who exhausts himself performing whatever his inner nature demands. Blessed is he who dares to seek, search, discover, and to create what he cannot suppress. Blessed is he who gives air to what he cannot strangle within and still live a full life any more than one can choose to stop breathing and maintain a heartbeat. Blessed is he who raises himself to a higher pitch and institutes harmony within himself. Blessed is he who loves his family, cares for his people, and radiates a vast love for the hills, rivers, creeks, mountains, tress, sky, and all the birds, plants, grasses, marshes, and the multitudes of creatures that call nature’s wonderland their paradise.”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“We foster personal meaning out of life by exulting in all of nature, exhibiting a reverence for people, animals, plants, and by expressing compassion and sympathy for the entire community of life.”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“At places where protruding rocks blocked its flow, the river hissed, eddying in ripples and foams, and then wrested its way forward with renewed rigor. For a while Bumbutai stood still, enchanted by the struggling brook, her spirits lifted and were imbued with a refreshing sense of hope. Mother Earth's healing hand could always do wonders to a world-wearied soul.”
Alice Poon, The Green Phoenix: A Novel of Empress Xiaozhuang, the Woman Who Re-Made Asia

Patricia Obrien
“When I was a child everything had its value. A lot of things; flowers, friends even a small puppy, they all had a part in my life’s value. Hard times to me meant high feed or hay prices, or too little rain for the gardens. Everything was so natural it gave me a real feeling of belonging to the earth. To have the freedom to run, jump and shout at the top of our lungs made all of us appreciate private spaces.”
Patricia Obrien, Since I Can Remember: Holding My Past in My Heart Forever

Michael Bassey Johnson
“To love nature is to hang out where the birds hang out.”

Ulonda Faye
“Love
The blissful kiss, of the soft breeze
Love
We are love and we
belong to love
For it is true, that love too
belongs to us

Love
The infinite kiss of the sky
I give into you and receive you
all while giving thanks for you

Breathe here, as we are free
Here and now, to love
It will never let you go and it will always
bless your Soul

Come and be
receive my kiss
for I am forever grateful for your infinite embrace, which I taste
I give thanks.”
Ulonda Faye, Sutras of the Heart: Spiritual Poetry to Nourish the Soul
