Dominican Preaching through Word and Image
Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.
Art is not simply works of art; it is the spirit that knows beauty, that has music in its soul and the color of sunsets in its handkerchief, that can dance on a flaming world and make the world dance too.
Learn to selectively water the positive seeds and flowers in you by attending to them. There are enough weeds. You don’t have to encourage them.
We are always interested in the flower, but not the tedium of the blossoming. But that process from bud to blossom is when things really happen.
Peace is every step.The shining red sun is my heart.Each flower smiles with me.How green, how fresh all that grows.How cool the wind blows. Peace is every step. It turns the endless path to joy.
When we look deeply at a flower, we can see the whole cosmos contained in it.
