Volume 6: "Silver Trees"
October 2020
In the bright sun, the light and shadow of the trees shimmered like silver. New additions to "Mindful Reminiscence," Collection #1.
"For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver."
~ Martin Luther
I find this quote from Susan Cooper's book "Silver on the Tree (The Dark is Rising)" to be timely and relevant.
"Now especially since man has the strength to destroy the world, it is the responsibility of man to keep it alive, in all its beauty and marvelous joy. And the world will still be imperfect, because men are imperfect. Good men will still be killed by bad, or sometimes by other good men, and there will still be pain and disease and famine, anger and hate. But if you work and care and are watchful... then in the long run the worse will never, ever, triumph over the better. And the gifts put into some men, that shine as bright as Eirias the sword, shall light the dark corners of life for all the rest, in so brave a world.”
