Nurture your Nature

by Kåre เลียม Enga

Rated: 13+ · Book · Nature · #1439094

Look around. Let Nature nurture your Soul. I record images I sense and share them here.

NURTURE your NATURE

For my blog "Nurture your Nature"

Nature can nurture our writing, can nurture our soul. What is the language of Nature? And how do we learn it?

We look at the natural wonders around us and do not see them, hear, taste nor smell them. They do not touch us anymore than we dare touch them. And then we wonder why we feel so dead. To breathe in and live like a child again opens the Land of Wonderment. It's still there after all these years.

In response to "Irises"

🌻 thankful pwheeler nano Enjoy them.

Perhaps plant one that blooms twice? There are quite a few varieties available.

In response to "Irises"

A friend gave me some irises like that. I think of her whenever I see them. They are past already here, but should bloom again next year.

In response to ""Magnolia" O20 [129] 40w 'nice'"

Oh, dear fellow magnolia,

I couldn't agree more! Vexing
when they resort to such mundane descriptors — ‘nice’
Nice? We bloom with such grace and grandeur,
and all they can muster is "nice"?

It's like a chef preparing a sumptuous feast and being told
it tastes "okay."

We, the magnolias, deserve to be praised with eloquence and appreciation.
Our petals are as lush as silk, our fragrance as divine as a garden in full bloom.
Perhaps they need a lesson in botanical vocabulary to truly express our splendor.

Imagine if they said, "Your blossoms are a tapestry of resplendent white and pink hues,
delicate yet robust, exuding an aroma that dances with the zephyrs of spring."
Now, that's more like it!

So, my fellow magnolia, let us bloom on, knowing
that our magnificence transcends the simplicity of "nice."
And when they pause to admire our beauty, let us bask in the moment
when they find the words that befit our regal presence.

With petal-perfect regards,
A Magnolia in Full Bloom

In response to "Ombra mai fu - Largo from Xerxes by Handel [E]"

It is peaceful and lovely. Thank you for sharing!

What lovely gardening memories. I wonder if there's a public garden in which you could volunteer? There are lots of opportunities around here. I am not familiar with Thailand or Missoula though.

🌻 thankful pwheeler nano Latin was dead ... from the perspective of youth. However, it has great applications in learning living languages and in the medical field.

French started in grade school. I loved Spanish.

Coimbra tem mais encanto 🇵🇹 Fernando Machado Soares

O fado 🇵🇹

Went to hear fado in Evora last April; but I remember the first time I heard this in Coimbra.

Fado can be funny but I prefer the bittersweet laments.

I sing "A vida tem mais encanto na hora da despedida" Life is most enchanting at the hour of saying goodbye.

I would sing it to Jimmy Carter if I could. He's had a long fulfilled life. I wish him well. At 98 it's time to let go. We faced this last year when my mother died in March at 99. This evening I was brought home by a young man of 81 years on his peddle cab. I was thrilled. May he too have an enchanted end; may he have many more years of health.

In the past I couldn't hold back the tears when I sang this song. Tonight I don't want to wake up Ponnya.

Yes... life can be sweet at the end.

Coimbra tem mais encanto
Na hora da despedida.
Coimbra tem mais encanto
Na hora da despedida.

Que as lágrimas do meu pranto
São a luz que me dá vida.

Coimbra tem mais encanto
Na hora da despedida.
Coimbra tem mais encanto
Na hora da despedida.

Quem me dera estar contente
Enganar minha dor
Mas a saudade não mente
Se é verdadeiro o amor.

Coimbra tem mais encanto
Na hora da despedida.
Coimbra tem mais encanto
Na hora da despedida.

Não me tentes enganar
Com a tua formosura
Que para além do luar
Há sempre uma noite escura.

Coimbra tem mais encanto
Na hora da despedida.
Coimbra tem mais encanto
Na hora da despedida.

Que as lágrimas do meu pranto
São a luz que lhe dá vida.

Coimbra tem mais encanto
Na hora da despedida.
Coimbra tem mais encanto
Na hora da despedida.

Coimbra tem mais encanto
Na hora da despedida.
Coimbra tem mais encanto
Na hora da despedida.
