How Do I talk to a little flower?
‘Through it, I talk to the infinite. And what is the infinite? It is that silent, small force. It isn’t the outer physical contact. No, it isn’t that. It is that still small voice that calls up the fairies. When you look into the heart of a rose there you experience it. But you can’t explain it. You can talk and talk, but the longer you talk the further you are from the truth. There are certain things, often very little things, like the little peanut, the little piece of clay, the little flower that cause you to look within and then it is that you see into the soul of things.’
-George Washington Carver
