Flowers are in You
Do not go to the garden of flowers!!
O friend, do not go there;
in your body is the garden of flowers.
Take your seat on a thousand lotus petals
and there gaze on the Infinite Beauty.
Rabindranath Tagore, Mahmood Jamal translation

"If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals; if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God, they are called developers."
Joseph Wood Krutch
“If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a spectulator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.”
Henry David Thoreau
