Look
at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the
stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole
existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no
reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and
they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank
balance. Look at the flowers — for no reason. It is simply unbelievable
how happy flowers are. ~Osho
What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
~Gerard Hopkins
I
think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field
somewhere and don’t notice it.... People think pleasing God is all God
care about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to
please us back. ~Alice Walker, The Color Purple, 1982
I’ve always regarded nature as the clothing of God. ~Alan Hovhaness
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars. ~Walt Whitman
