Nature is my balm. I yearn to study her random texture, learn her simple secrets, and lavish in her fickle gifts. Pray she heals me.

My image: I took this photo of a pine tree as I passed it while #walking today.
My post: I wrote “Let me–Oh, Pine!” while on my phone, laying in bed, half asleep tonight. This is the last day for my personal challenge to create daily during the month of November 2018.
Also, November 30 marks the anniversary of the death of one my favorite authors, Oscar Wilde.
In light if this mundane factoid (about the date), I share these two Wilde quotes with a nod and a wink:
“The more we study Art, the less we care for Nature. What Art really reveals to us is Nature’s lack of design, her curious crudities, her extraordinary monotony, her absolutely unfinished condition.”
-Oscar Wilde, “Intentions” (1891)
Most modern calendars mar the sweet simplicity of our lives by reminding us that each day that passes is the anniversary of some perfectly uninteresting event.
-Oscar Wilde “A New Calendar,” The Pall Mall Gazette (February 17, 1887).

One response to “Let me–Oh, Pine!”
Hi I just had to leave you a note…I’m slowly going through my Dad’s Dictionary..still on the 2nd page of 2058. Right now I’m in Abbott land…(Edith and Grace Abbott) I also liked how you connected art , Oscar Wilde, and a pine tree and observations all together. I’ve also seen a quote about Chaos and nature..I’ll keep an eye open for it.
