Even the rugged
Surface of a cactus
Is soft enough
To bear flowers.There is still hope
For broken souls with
Hardened shells.
(Noor Shirazie)
Reality is what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is what we believe.
What we believe is based upon our perceptions.
What we perceive depends upon what we look for.
What we look for depends upon what we think.
What we think depends upon what we perceive.
What we perceive determines what we believe.
What we believe determines what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is our reality.

What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.

From thy fragrant, beauteous bosom,
I accept and clasp the treasure,
To my breast with grateful pleasure,
Dear the gift, and dear the giver,
Whose loving hand is near me ever,
Memory ever fondly clinging,
To the past, before me bringing,
With deepest sweetest fascination,
Past scenes of love and admiration.

Carcharadon Carcharias (Great White Shark). Six thousand
pounds of muscle powering a hoop
of butcher’s knives. The only animal
that ate its weaker siblings in the womb.
Immune from cancer. Constantly awake.
