We have forgotten how to be good guests, how to walk lightly on the earth as its other creatures do.
— Barbara Ward
We live a gentle life at
Salt Creek Butterfly Farm.
We breathe with the trees,
grow with the gardens,
ponder the clouds,
and live with hopeful hearts.
Live a Gentle Life
Breathe with the Trees
(Be a) friend of silence. See how nature — trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.
— Mother Teresa
Grow With the Gardens
If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.
— Eleonora Duse
Ponder the Clouds
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live with Hopeful Hearts
As I walk with Beauty
As I walk, as I walk,
The universe is walking with me,
In beauty it walks before me,
In beauty it walks behind me,
In beauty it walks below me,
In beauty it walks above me,
Beauty is on every side.
— Traditional Navajo Prayer
