" A thankful heart
 is not only
 the greatest virtue,
but the parent 
of all other
 virtues. "

Cicero











" I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience,
 compassion.
These three
 are your greatest
 treasures. "

 Lao Tzu














" One of the most
 attractive things
 about the flowers
 is their beautiful
 reserve. "

 Henry David Thoreau
















" For a writer,
 published works are like
 fallen flowers,
 but the expected new work
 is like a calyx 
waiting to blossom.  "

Cao Yu
 









" I believe
 in the compelling power 
of love.
 I do not understand it. 
I believe it to be
 the most fragrant blossom 
of all this thorny
 existence. "

Theodore Dreiser














" The greatest lovers 
are like twin blooms,
each reflecting
 the passion and the glory
of the other. "
  
 Jonathan Lockwood Huie

















































" How did the rose
 ever open its petals
 and give to this world
 all of its beauty?
It felt the encouragement
 of light on its being,
otherwise we all remain
 too frightened. "

  Hafez

  4. Ok, after seeing all your palm trees, I'm buying a palm for my deck. It'll be the closest I get to the Islands this year. I can dream.

  10. I love the Thoreau quote and the theme of this post. How easily compassion flows when we don’t stand in love’s way.
    The orange poppy(?) is stunning and I love the visual pun in the last photo. Thank you for the joy you spread!

  14. Cicero reportedly said 'He who has a garden and a library has everything he needs'. Sounds about right to me.
