"There are things you can't reach.  But

You can reach out to them, and all day long.

The wind, the bird flying away.  The idea of god.

And it can keep you busy as anything else, and happier.

I look; morning to night I am never done with looking.

Looking I mean not just standing around, but standing around

As though with your arms open."

-Mary Oliver -       

"I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, Mother, what was war?"

"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change."

- Buddha -

"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength  lies."

- Mother Theresa -

"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment.  I want to give that world to someone else."

- Georgia O'Keeffe -
