“If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.”  ―Rainer Maria Rilke

What tiny natural thing is of immeasurable worth to you?

If you walked this road in summer you might wonder at all the pointless yellow sticks lining the road. Only in the winter, when the road disappeared under the snow, would you know to be grateful for those markers showing you the way.

What markers or guidance do you create for your future self, to help you stay on track?

“In nature nothing exists alone.” ―Rachel Carson

How do you experience yourself as being part of an ecosystem?

What do you create out of your grief and loss?

“In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.” —Aristotle

What can you see out your window that amazes you?
