Not being tied to our urgent to-do lists:
Consider the lilies of the field…
And you — what of your rushed and
useful life? Imagine setting it all down —
papers, plans, appointments, everything,
leaving only a note: “Gone to the fields
to be lovely. Be back when I’m through
with blooming.
Lynn Ungar, Camas Lilies

Hi, I “reblogged” your post but all links and resources will point back directly to your site. Hope that’s ok. I’m searching for those blogs that resonate with the Stoic in me.I attempt to practise mindfulness on a regular basis and I studied philosophy in “another lifetime.” I do love your site.
You are very welcome to do that. Thank you. Glad you find the site helpful, best wishes, Karl
Beautiful sentiment – will work harder on doing this!
What a lovely quote, so much so, I would like to reblog this on my Nature Blog (with a link to your own site).
Thanks for doing that Vicki and for your supportive words on your lovely blog. I really appreciate your constant presence. Your blog keeps me thinking of my sister who has lived in Melbourne for many years now. The poem is indeed really lovely, Best wishes, Karl
