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

" Never cease loving a person, 

                     and never give up hope for him,

Lil` Devil / Hands on hips

for even the prodigal son 
who had fallen most low, 

could still be saved;

Got a BETTER Idea?

the bitterest enemy 

and also he who was your friend 

could again be your friend; 

love that has grown cold 

can kindle. "

Soren Kierkegaard

Unplanned Meme

A  L  O  H  A !

" I am determined

 to be cheerful and happy

 in whatever situation 

I may find myself.

 For I have learned 

that the greater part of our misery

 or unhappiness
 is determined not by our circumstance 

but by our disposition. "

Martha Washington

“ Do you wish to rise? 

Begin by descending. 

You plan a tower 

that will pierce the clouds?

 Lay first the foundation

 of humility. ”

        

                             Saint Augustine

                                                  (354-430)

Get it right at home. Am I right?

" Towered cities 

please us then,
And the busy hum 

of men. "
 

John Milton

" I am happy now,

 to recall

 that I was not only his son

 but his companion, 

and whenever there was

 a hunting expedition

 or any other pleasure,

 I was always with him.  "

John Philip Sousa
