Fear is such a powerful emotion for humans that when we allow it to take us over, it drives compassion right out of our hearts.
~ Thomas Aquinas
The beauty of the trees,
the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass,
speaks to me . . .
The strength of fire,
the freshness of morning,
the taste of salmon,
the trail of the sun,
and the life that never goes away,
they speak of me.
And my heart soars.
