We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies
as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are.
We adults, on the other hand, have outgrown them
and have to lower ourselves to stoop down to them. . . .
Whoever would partake of all good things
must understand how to be small at times.
~Friedrich Nietzsche, (1844 – 1900)
your photos are exquisite — as always. and i love the innate (and essential) understanding that humility is the wisest posture. only in our smallness can we behold the beginnings of the breadth of the wonder.
“only in our smallness can we behold the beginnings of the breadth of the wonder.” You have said it well, sweet B. Much love to you~ xxx
