Every time I witness the work of one of my brethren in miniature form I realize that they are the creatures saving us, even as some of us strive to protect and conserve lands to save them. We are partners in life and family of the earth. #robertschoutphotos #nature #bskyphotos #gardenmessengers

…and the flower said, “I have created a lush garden for you atop a single stem. Come, drink of my nectar. Get lost in my forest. There is enough of me for all.”

What soul is this that visits me in winged form? It whispers to me of joy and love. A gentle reminder to be at peace with every cycle of change. I must not fear metamorphosis. It may be that which gives me wings. #robertschoutphotography #wisdomphoto #butterfly #gardenmessengers #share to inspire

The smallest being contains and represents worlds of beauty and wisdom. Do we stop long enough to bear witness and wonder about its life and our inter-being with all life?
