You who walk,
Maybe with troubled thoughts,
Come, enter here and rest;
And may the sweet serenity of
growing things,
And the heavenly, peace
Be mirrored in thy soul.
---Doxis M. Palmer

"When you take a flower in your
hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I
want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city
rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want
them to see it whether they want to or not." ----Georgia
O'Keeffe
