Etiquette: Nature and Nurture





“Pick up after yourself.”
“Hang up your coat.”

“Leave no trace.”
“Pack it in - Pack it out”

Disconnected phrases yet...
useful outside and in.

A parent’s invisible voice clings to a child’s invisible 'self-only' 
that leaves a trail of disarray.

Hiking in forest, hills, mountains or plains, 
adults teach children reason.

Teaching transferred into house and home
creating trails of neatness and prevents clutter ~ 
a lesson I’m still practicing!

“Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces 
everything. It is ethics. It is honour”
~ Emily Post
