Run your fingers through the softness of its petals, and listen: listen to the earth, the warm earth, the life pulse of us all. Rest your body against its warmth; feel its greatness the pulse and throb, the foundation of the world. Look up into the sky, the all embracing sky, the canopy of heaven. How small we really are: specks in the greatness but still a part of it all. We grow from the earth and find our own place.
