Yosemite #4 - “Rooted”

But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
They are like trees planted along a riverbank,
with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat
or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green,
and they never stop producing fruit.
- Jeremiah 17:7-8 (New Living Translation)

Wild Iris

None can have a healthy love for flowers
unless he loves the wild ones.
- Forbes Watson

There is pleasure in the pathless woods - Lord Byron

Morning Has Broken…

To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face; to greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains; to approach my work with a clean mind; to hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things, the ultimate purpose toward which I am working; to meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heart; to be gentle, kind, and courteous through all the hours; to approach the night with weariness that ever woos sleep and the joy that comes from work well done - this is how I desire to waste wisely my days.
- Thomas Dekker
