The Flower Hour #29:  Vis Medicatrix Naturæ* 

Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.²

Tramping through the woods at Wheatley Provincial Park yesterday, nature’s peace did indeed flow into me and, happily, there were windflowers galore!

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.³

Sincere thanks as always to the delightful Terri for another reminder to seek the joy in the flowers around us.  Please take a few minutes to read her blog, her aptly chosen quotes and her spectacularly beautiful floral images — it’ll be the loveliest few minutes of your day:
