A tree is more than first a seed

The tree is more than first a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and then dead timber. The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Wisdom of the Sands

from Bushka's blog " Shoots and Saplings "

The world is not to be put in order

The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order.

-- Henry Miller

I am your moon

I am your moon and your moonlight too

I am your flower garden and your water too

I have come all this way, eager for you

Without shoes or shawl

I want you to laugh

To kill all your worries

To love you

To nourish you.

Rumi

Doors of perception

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear … as it is, infinite.

-- William Blake
