The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest ~ Sir Thomas Moore ~

"We reach home in many ways: music, art, desert, forest, sunrise, solitude ... Whatever revivifies balance is what is essential . That is home" ~Clarissa Pinkola Estes~

"Artists feel what they're carrying and feel it vividly. In order to make their art pulse, they must find their edges and soften there. Art {like love} was never about safety. To love an artist is to fall into a sea of deep, soulful, courageous, wild living" ~Victoria Erickson~

♥ When Women Were Birds ♥

"Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn and to sing at dusk was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten. That the world is meant to be celebrated" ~Terry Tempest Williams~

Finding beauty in Everyday life ♥

bumblebees are not physically designed to fly. their body is too heavy for its light wings, wings that shouldn't be able to keep it in the air. bumblebees refuse to accept their limitations. they fly in spite of what it's been told it cannot do. it knows its strength. be a bumblebee. ~unknown~

~for the sparrows~

I would daily throw out crumbs for the sparrows in the neighbourhood. I noticed tht one sparrow was injured, so that it had difficulty getting about. But I was interested to discover that the other sparrows, apparenty by mutual agreement, would leave the crumbs which lay nearest their crippled comrade, so that he could get his share, undisturbed. ~Dr. Albert Schweitzer~

Gather what you love ...

Our lives are spent gathering what we love ... we call that place hOMe ♥

Rain ...

Who loves the rain and loves his home and looks on life with quiet eyes ~Frances Shaw~

~Sparrows Garden~

In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful. ~Abram L. Urban~

Once Upon A Nest ...

This is the place that I love the best, a little brown house like a ground ~ birds nest, hid among grasses, and vines, and trees, summer retreat of the birds and bees ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox~

Sparrow Sentiments ...

I once had a Sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn. ~Henry David Thoreau~

HOME is oneness, HOME is my original NATURE. It is right here, simply in what is. There is nowhere else I have to go, and nothing else I have to become. ~Tony Parsons~

If what I say resonates with you, it is merely because we are both branches on the same tree ~W.B.Yeats~

Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate each & every one of your lovely comments ♥

A house is a home
when it shelters the body
and comforts the soul
~Phillip Moffitt~

I suppose I am a Sparrow, a stay-at-home bird. ~Gladys Taber~

Our house was not unsentient matter - it had a heart and a soul, and eyes to see with; and approvals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it was of us, and we were in its confidence and lived in its grace and in the peace of its benedictions. We never came home from an absence that its face did not light up and speak out in eloquent welcome - and we could not enter it unmoved. ~Samuel Clemens~
