Your meadows and your pastures shall be your pharmacies.

-Paracelsus

Light will someday split you open
Even if your life is now a cage.

Little by little, You will turn into stars.
Little by little, You will turn into
The whole sweet, amorous Universe.

Love will surely burst you wide open

Into an unfettered, booming new galaxy.

-Hafiz

WALK AMONG THE TREES ///

You walk for days among trees and among stones. Rarely does the eye light on a thing, and then only when it has recognized that thing as the sign of another thing: a print in the sand indicates the tiger's passage; a marsh announces a vein of water; the hibiscus flower, the end of winter. All the rest is silent and interchangeable; trees and stones are only what they are.

- Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

A UNIQUE ACTION of the TOTAL UNIVERSE

“We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.”

― Alan W. Watts
