“And when you crush an apple with your teeth, say to it in your heart:
Your seeds shall live in my body,
And the buds of your tomorrow shall blossom in my heart.”
– Kahlil Gibran, “On Eating and Drinking” in The Prophet
“If you trust in Nature, in the small Things that hardly anyone sees and that can so suddenly become huge, immeasurable…then everything will become easier for you, more coherent and somehow more reconciling, not in your conscious mind perhaps, which stays behind, astonished, but in your innermost awareness, awakeness, and knowledge.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
