The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers. (Thich Nhat Hanh)
It is not growing like a tree in bulk doth make man better be; Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere, A lily of a day is fairer in May Although it fall and die that night, It was the plant of flower and light, In small proportions we just beauties see; And in short measures, life may perfect be. (Benjamin Johnson)
