The earth laughs in flowers.

Amaryllis

This grand show is eternal.  It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising.  Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.

~John Muir

Offering

...I just want my life to be true,

And I just want my heart to be true,

I just want my words to be true.

I want my soul to feel brand new.

~ Avett Brothers (a gift for melody ann)

Opening

You are a wonderful manifestation. The whole has come together to make your existence possible. There is nothing that is not you.

~ Thich Nhat Hahn
