In the end

"In the end, all that really matters is that we approach wherever we live with full attention and an open heart...a bouquet of flowers, a song, the smell of freshly baked bread, an affectionate embrace, such things can transform any place into a happy, heartwarming abode."

- Thomas Bender

A tree

"A tree is like a pipeline from the sky to the earth. It is a living pipeline that carries energy. The same life force energy surges through all living things. when you embrace someone you feel good energy surging between the two of you. This is the same life force that is in trees."

- Eleanor and Phillip Harris

Help us

"Help us to be the always hopeful gardeners of the spirit who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth as without light nothing flowers."

You are

"You are what your deep driving desire is.
As your desire is, so is your will.
As your will is, so is your deed.
As your deed, so is your destiny."

- The Upanishads

Now o friends

"Now o friends
Listen to the words of a dream
Each spring brings us new life
The golden corn refreshes us
And the pink corn makes us a necklace
...At least this we know:
The hearts of our friends are true."

- Aztec

HAIL to our Mother

"HAIL to our Mother who makes the yellow flowers to bloom--
who scatters the seeds of the maguey as she comes from the Land Divine!
Hail to our Mother who casts forth white flowers in abundance!
Hail to our Mother who shines in the thorn bush as a bright butter-fly!"

- Traditional Mexican

Nothing can resist

"Nothing can resist the will of man when he knows what is true and wills what is good. Learn how to will. How can one learn to will? This is the first Arcanum of magical initiation."

- E. Levi

Death has no power

"Death has no power th'immortal soul to slay,
That, when its present body turns to clay,
Seeks a fresh home; and with unlessened might,
Inspires another frame with life with light and life."

-Ovid
