“They’ll look for you in a field of roses,
having never really known you at all.
For you’ll never be found in a perfectly tendered garden,
you’re an untameable wildflower in this wild world.”

— Nikki Rowe

Springtime In The Desert (Arizona Popcorn Flower) — Image by kenne

I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.

To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.

— from Lines Written In Early Spring by William Wordsworth

Albert Einstein believed we suffer from an “optical delusion”
which separated us from the rest of creation. His solution?

“Widen our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures
and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
