When you look upon another human being and feel great love toward them, or when you contemplate beauty in nature and something within you responds deeply to it, close your eyes for a moment and feel the essence of that love or that beauty within you, inseparable from who you are, your true nature. The outer form is a temporary reflection of what you are within your essence, that is why love and beauty can never leave, although all outer forms will.
Eckhart Tolle (via butterfliesarefree3149)
Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

There is nothing to practice. To know yourself, be yourself. To be yourself, stop imagining yourself to be this or that. Just be. Let your true nature emerge. Don’t disturb your mind with seeking

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
Lao Tzu (via butterfliesarefree3149)
Mindfulness is the root of all the methods that tame the mind.
First it focuses the mind, then it eases the mind, finally it is the luminous nature, beyond thoughts.
Patrul Rinpoche (via butterfliesarefree3149)
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. … There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.
Rachel Carson (via butterfliesarefree3149)
Happiness is your nature,
effortlessness is your dance,
peace is your fragrance,
love is your perfume.

We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.
