My apologies for being late posting this week's Spotlight of Words:

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
―John Lubbock

In nature we never see anything isolated,
but everything in connection with something else which is before it,
beside it, under it and over it.

For fun, this week's Spotlight of Words: That Wise Old Owl


Thumb of 2023-08-20/wildflowers/407d0b

A wise old owl sat on an oak.
The more he saw, the less he spoke.
The less he spoke, the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

~Variation from an old 19th century nursery rhyme
