Nobody sees a flower really: it is so small
We haven’t time, and to see takes time

Lessons from nature: Moments of rest
All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.
William Carlos Williams, Winter Trees
We are held
I hadn’t noticed
till a death took me outside
and left me there
that grass lifts so quietly
to catch everything
we drop and we drop
everything.
Leonard Nathan, Kind, American Poet, 1924 – 2007

Sunday Quote: Where we place the mind
The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts.

Once we notice…
The aspects of things that are most important for us
are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity.
And this means: we fail to be struck by what, once seen,
is most striking and most powerful.

At its own pace
The meaning of life is just to be alive.
It is so plain and so obvious and so simple.
And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves
