"I'm happiest when most away ...."




I’m happiest when most away
I can bear my soul from its home of clay
On a windy night when the moon is bright
And my eye can wander through worlds of light

When I am not and none beside
Nor earth nor sea nor cloudless sky
But only spirit wandering wide
Through infinite immensity
Emily Bronte

"The flower made Mahakasyapa smile ...."


“The flower made Mahakasyapa* smile.
Even a sage is transformed by a bloom.”

*Buddha’s disciple

"There is that in the glance ...."


There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords.
John Muir
