As Adam (42)
“As the bee collects nectar and departs without injuring the flower, or its colour or scent, so let a sage dwell in his village.” – Dhammapada

As Adam (37)
“When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering like the flame of a lamp in a windless place.” – Sacred Gita
Night-Crown Heron at Dusk
“It has looked out from its dull eye for so long, standing on one leg, on moon and stars sparkling through silence and dark, and now what a rich experience is its! What says it of stagnant pools, and reeds, and damp night fogs? It would be worth while to look in the eye which has been open and seeing at such hours and in such solitudes. When I behold that dull yellowish green, I wonder if my own soul is not a bright invisible green. I would fain lay my eye side by side with its and learn of it.” – Thoreau
