She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water. ~Roman Payne http://bit.ly/2wHctiV

I'm a wanderer. But i don't wander to explore the outer physical world , I do it to explore the universe inside me. ~Appu Nirmal http://bit.ly/2XyuvzK

We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature. ~Henry David Thoreau http://bit.ly/2wIP5RY

Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life. ~Herman Hesse http://bit.ly/2PoMmWm

Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness. ~Herman Hesse http://bit.ly/2vi1PhL

A longing to wander tears my heart when I hear trees rustling in the wind at evening. ~Herman Hesse http://bit.ly/2PmmvP3

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. ~Albert Einstein ¦ ¦ ¦ #photography #hopeshotsphotography #canon #fineartphotography #bnw #blackandwhitephotography #photographer #pnwphotographer #oregonphotographer #lincolncityor #oregon #ferns #forest #bw #blackandwhite #bwphotography #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephoto #instablackandwhite #blackwhite #bnwmood https://ift.tt/2UbykJw

Listen to the trees as they sway in the wind. Their leaves are telling secrets. Their bark sings songs of olden days as it grows around the trunks. And their roots give names to all things. Their language has been lost. But not the gestures. ~Vera Nazarian ¦ ¦ ¦ #nature #naturelovers #natureisamazing #bnw #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #photographer #pnwphotographer #oregonphotographer #lincolncityor #oregon #blacknwhitephotography #blacknwhitephoto #greatshots #bwphotography #canon #monochromatic #bnwphoto #mood #trees #forest #forestlovers https://ift.tt/2Ucr9R5

Start walking and keep walking until you no longer know the road like the palm of your hand, because we walk the same roads day in and day out...and we cease to see. We walk in our sleep and teach our muscles to work without thinking and I dare you to walk where you have not yet walked and I dare you to notice. ~Charlotte Eriksson ¦ ¦ ¦ #photography #hopeshotsphotography #canon #fineartphotography #pnw #pacificnw #pacificnorthwest #oregon #meadow #forest #trees #ferns #moss #nature #naturelovers #natureisamazing #Oregon #oregoncoast #lincolncityor https://ift.tt/2GJZ5BQ

Go deeply into the urge to be silent and not the mental interference of how, where and when.

If I’m perplexed by the fact that I’m constantly lost, maybe somewhere in my head I’ve determined that being lost serves a greater purpose than being found. ~Craig D.
