“Many people are so imprisoned in their minds that the beauty of nature does not really exist for them. They might say, 'What a pretty flower,' but that's just a mechanical mental labeling. Because they are not still, not present, they don't truly see the flower, don't feel it's essence, it's holiness-just as they don't know themselves, don't feel their own essence, their own holiness.” PeopleKnowsFeelsMindDoeStillsMightFlowerEssenceHolinessNature BeautyLabeling Author:Eckhart Tolle

“I want you to learn the lesson of the lotus. This flower springs forth from muddy waters. It raises its delicate petals to the sun and perfumes the world while, at the same time, its roots cling to the elemental muck, the very essence of the mortal experience. Without that soil, the flower would wither and die.” WorldWantDiesWaterSunFlowerLessonsSpringRootsEssenceRaisesMortalsSoilDelicateI Want YouPerfumePetalsMuddyElementalsLotuses Author:Colleen Houck
“You can create substances with other naturally grown substances and you can synthesize beautiful bouquets of flowers without spending an arm and a leg, using the citrus fruits, which are much more affordable than flowers, because you need so many flowers to create the essences.

“Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show you the way back to God, to the Source, to yourself. When you look at it or hold it & let it be without imposing a word of mental label on it, a sense of awe, of wonder, arises within you. Its essence silently communicates itself to you and reflects your own essence back to you.” WayLooksShowsWonderFlowerSourceBirdStonesEssenceCommunicateAriseLabelsAweWithin YouImposing Author:Eckhart Tolle
“In Egypt, I loved the perfume of the lotus. A flower would bloom in the pool at dawn, filling the entire garden with a blue musk so powerful it seemed that even the fish and ducks would swoon. By night, the flower might wither but the perfume lasted. Fainter and fainter, but never quite gone. Even many days later, the lotus remained in the garden. Months would pass and a bee would alight near the spot where the lotus had blossomed, and its essence was released again, momentary but undeniable.” MightNightPowerfulGoneFlowerMonthsGardenEssenceBlueFishesSpotsDawnPoolDucksBeesEgyptPerfumeFillingMomentaryLotusesMusk Author:Anita Diament

“Real haiku is the soul of poetry. Anything that is not actually present in one's heart is not haiku. The moon glows, flowers bloom, insects cry, water flows.
