Magnificent World

"The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself."--Henry Miller

The Woods

"The woods were made for the hunters of dreams,

The brooks for the fishers of song;
To the hunters who hunt for the gunless game
The streams and the woods belong."--Sam Walter Foss

A Rose

"A rose only becomes beautiful and blesses others when it opens up and blooms. Its greatest tragedy is to stay in a tight-closed bud, never fulfilling its potential."--unknown
