If you come, you better come in force because I will kill every single one of you. My hand won't shake, my aim won't falter. My face will be the last thing you'll see before you die." I jammed my knife into the table and walked out. ↗

What must it be like, I wonder, to live in a world where food appears at the press of a button? How would I spend the hours I now commit to combing the woods for sustenance if it were so easy to come by?

I didn’t look at Thanet. I couldn’t because he would see the hurt on my face. “He loves you,” Thanet said. “He’s hurting and it’s not just the Quinn thing.

The calm of nature benefits us all. When we escape from the crowded and grey environment of towns and cities, we experience a noticeable relaxation and lifting of mood as the green of nature fills our vision. Walking through woodland where the light is predominantly filtered through green leaves creates a sense of calm in the emotions and an expansive , increased sense of connection with our surroundings. The feeling of relaxation and the renewed sense of mental perspective during and after a country walk is so common that few of us will stop to think about it when the walk is over, but we will subconsciously feel profound benefits from the experience . ↗

ABOUT: KAHLIL GIBRAN "His power came from some great reservoir of spiritual life else it could not have been so universal and so potent, but the majesty and beauty of the language with which he clothed it were all his own." -- Claude Bragdon ↗
