“The truth is, in winter, the earth rejects us.” ― Ruth Ellen Kocher, When the Moon Knows You're Wandering

 “We cry from pain, from loss, and from loneliness, but mostly we cry because we still have hope, and because we can still find joy even on the darkest and coldest of winter nights.”

― Courtney M. Privett, Rain Falls on Malora

“Do you know that even when you look at a tree and say, That is an oak tree', or that is a banyan tree', the naming of the tree, which is botanical knowledge, has so conditioned your mind that the word comes between you and actually seeing the tree? To come in contact with the tree you have to put your hand on it and the word will not help you to touch it.”

― Jiddu Krishnamurti, Freedom from the Known
