“The earth's distances invite the eye. And as the eye reaches, so must the mind stretch to meet these new horizons. I challenge anyone to stand with autumn on a hilltop and fail to see a new expanse not only around him, but in him, too.” MindEyeEarthChallengesFailingDistanceAutumnHorizonInvitesExpanseNew Horizons Author:Hal Borland
“This, at last, was where things were as they ought to be. Everything was in its place -- the tree, the earth underneath, the rock, the moss. In autumn, it would be right; in winter under the snow, it would be perfect in its wintriness. Spring would come again and miracle within miracle would unfold, each at its special pace, some things having died off, some sprouting in their first spring, but all of equal and utter rightness.” FirstsWould BeEarthLastsPerfectTreeSpecialRocksOughtEqualSpringMiracleDiedWinterSnowAutumnPaceMoss Author:Jean Liedloff
