~ The river with its mask of trees cut a twisting path down through the valley. Two miles away he could see, beside a gigantic lonely oak, the white speck of his tent pitched and left while he went to record his homestead. A long time he sat there. AS he looked into the valley, Joseph felt his body flushing with a hot flluid of love. "This is mine," he said simply, and his eyes sparkled with tears and his brain was filled with wonder that this should be his. There was pity in him for the grass and the flowers; he felt that the trees were his children and the land his child. For a moment he seemed to float high in the air and to look down upon it. "It's mine," he said again, " and I must take care of it. ~ ~ Happiness is to hold flowers in both hands. ~ ~ In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet. ~ ~ The honey in the flower or lotus does not crave for bees; they do not plead with the bees to come. Since they have tasted the sweetness, they themselves search for the flowers and rush in. They come because of the attachment between themselves and sweetness. So, too, is the relationship between the woman who knows the limits and the respect she evokes. ~ ~ The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind.

Without it -- as with these -- life would be poorer and meaner; without it we should be denied some of those intellectual and moral experiences which give meaning and richness to life. Surely it is no accident that the study of history has been the solace of many of the noblest minds of every generation. ~ ~ The difference between weeds and flowers is the flowers are the easiest ones to pull out. ~ ~ Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed. ~ ~ Standardization is the fertilizer of college education. A little may be useful, but flowers do not grow in pure manure. ~ ~ Flowers in a city are like lipstick on a woman -- it just makes you look better to have a little color. ~ ~ One by one the flowers close, Lily and dewy rose Shutting their tender petals from the moon. ~ |
