In the Bamboo Forest: A Tender Guardian's Moment

Amidst the whispers of a bamboo forest, a young woman shares a quiet, heartfelt moment with a baby panda. 🌿🐼 This digital artwork, 'The Young Guardian and Her Panda,' is all about the beauty of gentle care and the unspoken bond between human and nature. It’s a soft reminder of the tranquility and love that we can find in these silent, shared moments.

Exploring Andre Gide's 'The Counterfeiters': Nature and Humanity

I came across this fantastic excerpt from Andre Gide's 'The counterfeiters' and felt the duty to share it.

The connection between nature and humanity is undeniable and often overlooked. As Gide says in the excerpt below "There is more to be learnt, if one can use one's eyes, in a poultry-yard, or a kennel, or an aquarium, or a rabbit warren, or a stable, than in all your books, or even, believe me, in the society of men, where everything is more or less sophisticated."

"I SHOULD take more interest in animals if I were less interested in men," Robert had said. And Vincent had replied:

"Perhaps you think them too different. Every single one of the great discoveries in zoology has left its mark upon the study of man. The whole subject is interlinked and interdependent, and I believe that a novelist who also prides himself upon being a psychologist can never turn aside his eyes from the spectacle of nature and remain ignorant of her laws without paying for it. In the Goncourts' Journal, which you gave me to read, I fell upon an account of a visit they paid to the Zoological houses in the Jardin des Plantes, in which your charming authors deplore Nature's — or the Lord's — lack of imagination. This paltry blasphemy merely serves to show up the stupidity and incomprehension of their small minds. On the contrary, what astonishing diversity! It seems as if Nature had essayed one after the other every possible manner of living and moving, as if she had taken advantage of every permission granted by matter and its laws. What a lesson can be read in the progressive abandonment of certain palaeontological experiments which proved irrational and inelegant; the economy which has enabled some forms to survive explains why the others were abandoned. Botany is instructive, too. When I examine a plant, I observe that at the place where each leaf springs from the stem, a bud lies sheltered, which is capable in its turn of shooting into life the following year. When I remark that out of all these buds, two at most are destined to come to anything, and that by the very fact of their growth they condemn all the others to atrophy, I cannot help thinking that the case is the same with men. The buds which develop naturally are always the terminal buds — that is to say, those that are farthest away from the parent trunk. It is only by pruning or layering that the sap is driven back and so forced to give life to those germs which are nearest the trunk and which would otherwise have lain dormant. And in this manner, the most recalcitrant plants, which, if left to themselves, would no doubt have produced nothing but leaves, are induced to bear fruit. Oh! an orchard or a garden is an excellent school! and a horticulturist would often make the best of pedagogues! There is more to be learnt, if one can use one's eyes, in a poultry-yard, or a kennel, or an aquarium, or a rabbit warren, or a stable, than in all your books, or even, believe me, in the society of men, where everything is more or less sophisticated."

Blooming Frontier

✨🌿 In the heart of an untamed frontier, a lone adventurer steps onto a hidden path. Ancient trees twist skyward, their bark alive with whispered secrets. Vibrant purple blooms reach for dappled sunlight, while the air hums with unseen possibilities. Each step forward is a step into mystery, danger and wonder. What treasures - or perils - await beyond the next bend? The Blooming Frontier calls, and only the bravest dare to answer. 🌿✨

The valley below stretches far and wide A future world of beauty, a vision of what’s inside A world of harmony and balance, of people in a perfect state A serene land of peace, forever our future great

Nature and humanity, hand in hand in perfect flow No longer divided, but intertwined to and fro The air will be cleaner, the land will be greener A connected world of harmony so much brighter

We stand together, looking out over this view A world of interconnectedness, what a marvel so true The world ahead of us so bright and so free A future that’s much more beautiful than we could ever see.

The High Line on Manhattan’s West Side is a former abandoned freight railroad trestle that was converted into a park-walkway. Pictured here is the first section of the nearly 1.5-mile span (from Gansevoort Street to West 20th Street) to open to the public in 2009. ************************************ (Photo: © 2017 Joseph Kellard/kellardmedia.com) ************************************ #highline #highlinenyc #highlinepark #rail #wanderlustwednesday #highliner #shrubbery #greenery #flora #walkinthepark #takeawalk #landscapearchitecture #gardentourism #chelsea #meatpackingdistrict #westside #ig_nyc #thebigapple🍎 #nycgo #manhattan #made_in_ny #newyorkstateofmind #instanyc #igworldclub #travelandleisure #natureandhuman ************************************ (at The High Line)
