Swaying of the leaves of the palm trees are more like dancing.
When you see the trees swaying to the tune of a gentle breeze….think of it as a dance in your honor.
Trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening Heaven ~ Rabindranath Tagore
While we are enjoying the swaying of the palm trees…… Put on your dancing shoes and you too can sway to this song. Enjoy. 🙂

The skydiving team in a formation depicts one love. I had for a long time been thinking on one love and I came across this beautiful song by Bob Marley.
One Love! One Heart! Let’s get together and feel all right. Hear the children cryin’ (One Love!); Hear the children cryin’ (One Heart!), Sayin’: give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right; Sayin’: let’s get together and feel all right. Wo wo-wo wo-wo!
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love!); There is one question I’d really love to ask (One Heart!): Is there a place for the hopeless sinner, Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?
One Love! What about the one heart? One Heart! What about – ? Let’s get together and feel all right As it was in the beginning (One Love!); So shall it be in the end (One Heart!), All right! Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right; Let’s get together and feel all right. One more thing!
Let’s get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (One Love!), So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One Song!). Have pity on those whose chances grows t’inner; There ain’t no hiding place from the Father of Creation.
Sayin’: One Love! What about the One Heart? (One Heart!) What about the -? Let’s get together and feel all right. I’m pleadin’ to mankind! (One Love!); Oh, Lord! (One Heart) Wo-ooh!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right; Let’s get together and feel all right. Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right; Let’s get together and feel all right.

Autumn in Kashmir
Autumn
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run; To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells
~ John Keats
Nature is a painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty. ~ John Ruskin
Oriolus oriolus Golden oriole male sitting on a twig
A Light exists in Spring Not present on the Year At any other period — When March is scarcely here
A Color stands abroad On Solitary Fields That Science cannot overtake But Human Nature feels.
It waits upon the Lawn, It shows the furthest Tree Upon the furthest Slope you know It almost speaks to you.
Then as Horizons step Or Noons report away Without the Formula of sound It passes and we stay —
A quality of loss Affecting our Content As Trade had suddenly encroached Upon a Sacrament.
~ Emily Dickinson
If humanity learns to live in harmony with nature, we will enter an age of music unlike any this planet has ever heard before.
