Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.
~ Theodore Roethke
Butternut Bloom
The vegetable life does not content itself from the flower or the tree a single seed, but it fills the air and earth with a prodigality of seeds, that, if thousands perish, thousands may plant themselves, that hundreds may come up, that tens may love to maturity; that, at least one may replace the parent.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rows
Odd as I am sure it will appear to some, I can think of no better form of personal involvement in the cure of the environment than that of gardening. A person who is growing a garden, if he is growing it organically, is improving a piece of the world. He is producing something to eat, which makes him somewhat independent of the grocery business, but he is also enlarging, for himself, the meaning of food and the pleasure of eating.
~ Wendell Berry: The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays
Self Sown
Feeling the oneness of yourself with all things is true love.
~ Eckhart Tolle
