Henry David Thoreau – Steve McCurry Curated

Every Day is Earth Day

“Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.”

– Khalil Gibran

“Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.”

– Robert Frost

“What you do makes a difference, and you have to
decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

– Jane Goodall

“The whole world is, to me, very much “alive” – all the little growing things, even the rocks. I can’t look at a swell bit of grass and earth, for instance, without feeling the essential life – the things going on-within them.”

– Ansel Adams

““When enough people come together,
then change will come and
we can achieve almost anything.”

– Greta Thunberg

“The environment is where we all meet;
where we all
have a mutual interest;
it is the one thing all of us share.”

– Lady Bird Johnson

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of each.”

– Henry David Thoreau

“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your
bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.”

– Khalil Gibran

Rhapsody in Blue

Why make so much of fragmentary blue
In here and there a bird, or butterfly,
Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,
When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?

Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet)—
Though some savants make earth include the sky;
And blue so far above us comes so high,
It only gives our wish for blue a whet.

– Robert Frost

I have found myself dwelling on the color blue and the way our planet’s elemental hue, the most symphonic of the colors, recurs throughout our literature as something larger than a mere chromatic phenomenon — a symbol, a state of being, a foothold to the most lyrical and transcendent heights of the imagination.

– Maria Popova
