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.

I should have taken Latin instead of French but I just loved French.

Die Lorelei 🇩🇪 [ASR]

🇩🇪 Die Lorelei

A song from my childhood. My mother sang this. I sang this too... well... I knew the melody. I could even find it on the piano.

A-flat has been my go-to musical note for a long time. A-flat 2 is 103Hz, a good Thai low-tone for a bass voice. A-flat 3 at 207Hz would be fine for a tenor.

The song is actually sad... in spite of its lovely melody. Not really odd then that I was attracted to it as a child. The song about this particular Rheine Maiden was actually written as a poem by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) and published in 1827; it was set to music by Friedrich Silcher (1789-1860).

The actual spot on the Reine is a feared landmark, then and still. And Heine's lyrics and Silcher's melody still haunt.

Lyrics and translation are shown on the video.
