" If your heart is a volcano,

 how shall you expect

 flowers to bloom? "

Khalil Gibran

" Why should I be unhappy?

 Every parcel of my being 

is in full bloom. "

Rumi

" How does the Meadow flower 

its bloom unfold? 

Because the lovely little flower 

is free down to its root, 

and in that freedom bold. "

William Wordsworth

" What, I sometimes wonder, 

would it be like if I lived in a country 

where winter is a matter of a few chilly days 

and a few weeks' rain; 

where the sun is never far away, 

and the flowers bloom all year long? "

Anna Neagle

It's WONDERFUL, Anna!

" For me its balmy airs are always blowing, 

its summer seas flashing in the sun; 

the pulsing of its surf-beat in my ear. . . 

in my nostrils still lives the breath of flowers 

that perished twenty years ago. "

Mark Twain [on Hawaii]

 Paradise of the Pacific, April 1910
