"Yes, in the poor man's
garden grow
Far more than herbs and flowers.
Kind thoughts, contentment, peace of mind
And joy for weary hours."

"It is not the language
of painters but the language of nature which one should listen
to the feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more
important than the feeling for pictures."

Where'er you walk cool gales
shall fan the glade,
Trees where you sit shall crowd
into a shade.
Where'er you tread the blushing
flowers shall rise,
And all things flourish where
you turn your eyes.
~Alexander Pope, Pastorals--Summer~

"Looking for and enjoying beauty
is a way to nourish the soul. the universe is in the habit of
making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles,
acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done,
the smell of fresh-baked bread. Beauty is everywhere."---Matthew Fox

before you were, chances are it grew out of many others' dreams."
