Nurture your Nature

by Kåre เลียม Enga

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.

🌻 thankful pwheeler nanoing Enjoy them.

Perhaps plant one that blooms twice? There are quite a few varieties available.

In response to "Irises"

A friend gave me some irises like that. I think of her whenever I see them. They are past already here, but should bloom again next year.

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

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.

🌻 thankful pwheeler nanoing 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.

Irises

Laxmi took me to see the irises today. A few were in bloom. It's been a very cold May.

I love to smell them.

I took pictures.

This is a poem I wrote years ago:

STATIC

In search of Iris

(ASR)
"Yet golden-eyed in a dark blue dress, she squats in soft grass bereft." 12 lines rhyme.
#1233286 by Kåre เลียม Enga

And this is a childhood memory:

STATIC

Blue iris [#26 Irene Blumen]

(13+)
What bloomed in your garden if not blue iris, Irene and what lived on your shelves if not
#1921626 by Kåre เลียม Enga

We went for a walk along the river to see Old Stumpy, Laxmi weeding along the way. Earlier this past week, I posted a photo I took of the apple tree years ago. It still blooms.
