Attractive Flowers

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.
-Max Muller

“What a lovely thing a rose is!"

He walked past the couch to the open window and held up the drooping stalk of a moss-rose, looking down at the dainty blend of crimson and green. It was a new phase of his character to me, for I had never before seen him show any keen interest in natural objects.

"There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as religion," said he, leaning with his back against the shutters. "It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle

For Rain lovers

There's always a period of curious fear between the first sweet-smelling breeze and the time when the rain comes cracking down........

 






             

Love The Rain

People ask me...
Why do you love the rain?
Why is it so special to you?
But the answer is not easily explained...
When the rain comes down gently,
it soothes me...
And when it comes down hard,
it refreshes my soul...
Rain plays songs on my rooftop,
singing me to sleep...
It can't hurt me,
no matter how hard it tries...
No one is out when it rains,
so I can have some peace...
Rain let's me be me,
and can't change me...
That's why I love the rain...
But the best reason why I love the rain,
is that when I walk in it
no one can tell that I'm crying...
