Lei Day Flowers

A  L  O  H  A !

  “… flowers

 are the enlightenment

 of plants.” 

 

  Eckart Tolle

“Flowers have spoken to me 

more than I can tell

 in written words. 

 They are the 

hieroglyphics of angels,

 loved by all men 

for the beauty of their character,

 though few can decipher

 even fragments of their 

meaning.”

 Lydia M. Child

“Bread feeds the body, indeed, 

but flowers feed the soul.”  

Koran

 

“Because God is Beauty,

 He created loveliness in flowers

 that they might speak of Him. 

 More than anything else 

in nature

 they hint at

 His presence.” 

 Paramahansa Yogananda

“The morning-glory at my window

 satisfies me more 

than the metaphysics of books.” 

 Walt Whitman

 

 “Flowers seem intended 

for the solace 

of ordinary humanity.” 

 John Ruskin

“The temple bell stops

 but I still hear the sound 

coming from the flowers.” 

 Basho

 Lilies are dedicated 

to maiden Goddesses, 

symbols of their divine Purity.

 To Catholics it is the 

Madonna's own flower. 

“If seeds in the black earth

 can turn into such beautiful roses, 

what might not

 the heart of man become 

in its long journey

 toward the stars?”  

 G.K. Chesterton

“The violets in the mountains

 have broken the rocks.”  

Tennessee Williams

" If you want to be happy

 for a week, 

roast a pig.

If you want to be happy

 for a lifetime, 

be a gardener. "

   Chinese proverb
