In the garden

All gentlemen are gardeners

I’ve made an odd discovery. Every time I talk to a savant I feel quite sure that happiness is no longer a possibility. Yet when I talk with my gardener, I’m convinced of the opposite. Bertrand Russel

As soon as the plants and trees have withered, they show sprouts at the roots. Even though the order of the seasons brings freezing cold, eventually it brings back sunny energy. In the midst of purging and killing, the sense of continually renewing life is always in control. Thereby one can see the heart of heaven and earth. Huanchu Daoren

Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better. Albert Einstein

The earth has music for those who will listen. Shakespeare

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. Lao Tzu
