Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.

Gerard De Nerval

What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.

Meister Eckhart

Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.

Don Miguel Ruiz

The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.

Richard Bach

Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.

Junichiro Tanizaki

Each of us is carving a stone, erecting a column, or cutting a piece of stained glass in the construction of something much bigger than ourselves.

Adrienne Clarkson

Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.

Walt Whitman
