My heart is tuned to the quietness that the
stillness of nature inspires.
– from Hazrat Inayat Khan
What life can compare to this?
Sitting quietly by the window,
I watch the leaves fall and the flowers bloom,
As the seasons come and go.
– from Hsueh-Tou
Over all the mountain tops
Is peace.
In all treetops you perceive
Scarcely a breath.
The little birds in the forest are silent,
Wait then; soon
You, too, will have peace.
– from Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
