Rakiel Posted July 10, 2016 Beautiful quote. I was actually just observing a flower in the garden before i read this: how it just bloomed overnight. Rooted in the earth, healthy, happy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roger Posted July 11, 2016 If you love a plant wait until it flowers and fruits pick and eat the fruit its what the plant wants spit the seed out somewhere else true love is to appreciate yet also let another to fulfill their purpose - Nungalio That's a beautiful quote. People constantly help others to fulfill their purposes by giving them opportunities. Those opportunities are the will of our shared divine nature imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Direwolf Posted July 12, 2016 Beautiful quote and I can agree to that. It reminds me of when I was a child picking up insects and other wildlife, not putting them back where I found them, picking up plants despite the fact that they would wither and die. Sometimes it's best to observe, and appreciate the beauty in nature instead of reaching out and taking it when it will merely wither away when we do so.

noonespecial Posted July 12, 2016 But that flower is going to die and putrefy so why not just pick it and put it in a vase. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Direwolf Posted July 12, 2016 But that flower is going to die and putrefy so why not just pick it and put it in a vase. True, but the flower has a purpose, bees and other parts of nature use them for their functions, by plucking it out we are removing it from that function, and the seeds of the plant come from the flower as well.

It's not about flowers, it's about our tendency to try and possess those we think we care for. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
