Today, my Mom asked me why I didn’t grow a garden.  I told her I was a chip off the old block.  No green thumb.  I said I couldn’t grow a flower if Mother Nature herself promised to pee on it every day.

So tonight, I figured I bring you a few thoughts… from some folks who seem to know about the true nature of things.

“Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower” – Unknown

“Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.”  — Victor Hugo

“Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.”  — Rabindranath Tagore

“Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.”  —   Albert Schweitzer

“All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.”  — Albert Einstein

….and then…..

“He fell out of the Stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down”
