“Buttercups and daisies,
Oh, the pretty flowers;
Coming ere the Springtime
To tell of sunny hours.”
Mary Howitt
Dandelion Warmth
“No creature is fully itself till it is,
like the dandelion, opened in the bloom
of pure relationship to the sun,
the entire living cosmos.”
D.H. Lawrence
Blooming Amid Thorns
“The world is not respectable;
it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever;
but it is shot through with beauty, with love
with glints of courage and laughter;
and in these, the spirit blooms timidly,
and struggles to the light amid the thorns.”
George Santayana
Sprout On Fire
“In front of me,
I see the jungle burning; behind me,
I see green plants sprouting.
We shall merge into the One
from whom we came.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
Hope Springs Eternal
“We grow great by dreams.
All big men are dreamers.
They see things in the soft haze of a spring day
or in the red fire of a long winter’s evening.
Some of us let these great dreams die,
but others nourish and protect them;
nurse them through bad days
till they bring them to the sunshine and light
which comes always to those who
sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.”
Woodrow T. Wilson
Wrapped In The Arms of Love
“Love is always open arms.
If you close your arms about love
you will find that you are left
holding only yourself.”
Leo F. Buscaglia
See How Her Tulips Glow
” … no girl had ever moved me with a story
of spiritual suffering and so beautifully her
soul showing out radiant as an angel
wandering in hell and the hell the
selfsame streets I’d roamed in watching,
watching for someone just like her
and never dreaming
the darkness and the mystery
and eventuality of our meeting in eternity.”
Jack Kerouac
Daffodil Days Ahead
“Daffodils that come before the swallow dares,
and takes the winds of March with beauty.”
William Shakespeare
Tip Toe Tiger
“When she walked…
she stretched out long and thin like a little tiger,
and held her head high to look over
the grass as if she were treading the jungle.”
Saskya Pandita
Unity Belles
“In one drop of water are found
all the secrets of all the oceans;
in one aspect of You are found
all the aspects of existence.”
Kahlil Gibran
