  11. Most often,
    the nature
    plain and simple
    is the best way
    to treat your soul
    and accept
    and be happy
    with what you have
    and avoid
    greed
    Selfishness
    envy
    in order to create
    a better
    sustainable
    world
    for all living object
    at this small planet.

  12. I love the photo, I like the contrast between the knife sharp horizon line and the "furry" grass of the shoreline.

    Gide's quote is deceptively simple.

  14. That's a lovely shot. The title of this post made me break out singing: "It's a gift to be simple, it's a gift to be free, it's a gift to come down where we ought to be . . . "
