Virginia countryside

“behold the plant within the seed, enchanted form, as yet unfreed.
growth gently pushes root and shoot, forming leaves,
and flowers, and fruit. gaily adorned with colours fair,
ornamenting earth and air.
so develops, so unfolds all that once its heart did hold.”

all of us, by christy barnes

“may calm warmth work in us,
deep light shine through us,
the water’s power sound in us
and the ground’s strength live in us.
we are all journeying, we are all singing,
we are all weeping.
we know each other as deeply as we can see.
if I do not know you,
I am blind or you are bound.
let my warmth thaw your bonds.
create my eyes with your light.
silently and together we are all journeying:
like the rivers underground, like trains through the tunnels, like stars through the evening.
let us look at each other and know it.”

“I shall pass this way but once.
any good that I can do,
or any kindness that I can show,
let me do it now.
let me not defer or neglect,
for I shall not pass this way again.”

-- william penn
