When we are bored, when we are out of tune, when we have little worries, it clears our feelings and changes our mood if we can get in touch with the beauty of the natural world.

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.

Anton Chekhov

Persia Woolley

My words fly up, my thoughts remain below Words without thoughts never to heaven go.
