This living flowing land/
is all there is, forever/ We are it/ it sings through us-/ We could live on this Earth/ without clothes or tools!/ —From "By Frazier Creek Falls" in Turtle Island, 1974. Gary Synder |
Step out onto the Planet./
Draw a circle a hundred feet round./ Inside the circle are/ 300 things nobody understands, and maybe/ nobody's ever seen./ How many can you find?/ — Lew Welch |
Everything/
just as it is,/ as it is,/ as is./ Flowers in bloom./ Nothing to add./ —Robert Aitken, Roshi, As it Is |
The simplest things give me ideas.

All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.

Well, these are lovely photographs all different and all quite compelling in their own way. But what got to me is the words - the eternal seductiveness of life - what a thought. But how very true.

Flower shows are eye candy for gardeners. Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing them with us. The prayerful hands, though not flowers, is my favorite in today's set.

The same river of life which roams through my veins night and day runs worldwide and dance in rythmical pulsations. It is the same life which pushes through the ground its enjoyment in uncountable blades of grass, and bursts into passionate waves of leaves and flowers. / And I am proud, because the big beating of the life of ages, it is in my blood that it dances at the moment. (Rabrindanah TAGORE)
