Nurture your Nature

by Kåre Enga in Montana

Rated: 13+ · Book · Nature · #1439094

Look around. Let Nature nurture your Soul. I record images I sense and share them here.

NURTURE your NATURE

For my blog "Nurture your Nature"

Nature can nurture our writing, can nurture our soul. What is the language of Nature? And how do we learn it?

We look at the natural wonders around us and do not see them, hear, taste nor smell them. They do not touch us anymore than we dare touch them. And then we wonder why we feel so dead. To breathe in and live like a child again opens the Land of Wonderment. It's still there after all these years.

In response to ""Magnolia" O20 [129] 40w 'nice'"

Oh, dear fellow magnolia,

I couldn't agree more! Vexing
when they resort to such mundane descriptors — ‘nice’
Nice? We bloom with such grace and grandeur,
and all they can muster is "nice"?

It's like a chef preparing a sumptuous feast and being told
it tastes "okay."

We, the magnolias, deserve to be praised with eloquence and appreciation.
Our petals are as lush as silk, our fragrance as divine as a garden in full bloom.
Perhaps they need a lesson in botanical vocabulary to truly express our splendor.

Imagine if they said, "Your blossoms are a tapestry of resplendent white and pink hues,
delicate yet robust, exuding an aroma that dances with the zephyrs of spring."
Now, that's more like it!

So, my fellow magnolia, let us bloom on, knowing
that our magnificence transcends the simplicity of "nice."
And when they pause to admire our beauty, let us bask in the moment
when they find the words that befit our regal presence.

With petal-perfect regards,
A Magnolia in Full Bloom

In response to "Ombra mai fu - Largo from Xerxes by Handel [E]"

It is peaceful and lovely. Thank you for sharing!

What lovely gardening memories. I wonder if there's a public garden in which you could volunteer? There are lots of opportunities around here. I am not familiar with Thailand or Missoula though.

🌸 pwheeler - love joy peace Latin was dead ... from the perspective of youth. However, it has great applications in learning living languages and in the medical field.

French started in grade school. I loved Spanish.

I should have taken Latin instead of French but I just loved French.

In response to "Rise like a Phoenix 🇦🇹 [13+]"

I didn't know Conchita was a singer. I've known about her for years, but had no idea she was a singer and placed second in the EuroVision contest. That is impressive!

Petals of our ancestors [179.140] 40w Jan#19

Scarlet wept.

Her replacement glowed fresh and pink. Petals of their ancestors lay strewn around their feet. There was no denying destiny.

Will I be remembered? Was I enough?

One exhausted tear fell, then another.

Rosa blushed. I won't forget.

"Be true" [ASR] Monkey Week 4 Prompt #2 (200w)

BE TRUE

A blog can be about anything but to be of value it should be true to itself.

A P-log contains poetry. A T-log is about travel. This entry is in my N-log ... about nurturing and nature.

A personal blog need not be about adventure, scandal, politics, opinions. It can be a vignette of daily living. And although that may be boring to some... so be it. Authenticity matters.

Sometimes the greatest value is being true to yourself and what interests you.

How does one judge a blog? Why bother? I leave comments to engage with the writer not to correct their grammar.

But, if I had to judge :

1. Is it of some value to the author, others, me? Does it shed light? A positive, imho.
2. Is it a mere copy/paste of impersonal lists, lies, and other people's problems? A negative, imho.

I want to know the author: their thoughts, emotions, their personal joys and struggles. An impersonal piece may be good journalism or marketing, may get an A+ as an essay for English class; but, if it doesn't connect or shed light why should I bother?

I love to get to know bloggers but nefarious schemes to hurt them is immoral.
