Beautiful Summer Morning Quote of the Day

Hold your hands out over the earth as over a flame.  To all who love 
her, who open to her the doors of their veins, she gives of her 
strength, sustaining them with her own measureless tremor of 
dark life. Touch the earth, love the earth, honor the earth, her 
plains, her valleys, her hills, and her seas; rest your spirit in her 
solitary places. For the gifts of life are the earth’s and they are 
given to all, and they are the songs of birds at daybreak, Orion 
and the Bear, and dawn seen over ocean from the beach.
-   Henry Beston (1888-1968)
