More From Henry Van Dyke

A flower is not a flower. it is made only of non-flower elements - sunshine, clouds, time, space, earth, minerals, gardeners, and so on. a true flower contains the whole universe. if we return any one of these non-flower elements to its source, there will be no flower.

And now you ask in your heart, ‘how shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?’ go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, but it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. for to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, and to the flower a bee is a messenger of love, and to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy. * people of orphalese, be in your pleasures like the flowers and the bees.

I’m trying to embroider.” hyacinth held up her handiwork as proof. “you’re trying to avoid—” her mother stopped, blinking. “i say, why does that flower have an ear?” “it’s not an ear.” hyacinth looked down. “and it’s not a flower.” “wasn’t it a flower yesterday?” “i have a very creative mind,” hyacinth ground out, giving the blasted flower another ear. “that,” violet said, “has never been in any doubt.” hyacinth looked down at the mess on the fabric. “it’s a tabby cat,” she announced. “i just need to give it a tail.

Love is real, real is love, love is feeling, feeling love, love is wanting to be loved. love is touch, touch is love, love is reaching, reaching love, love is asking to be loved. love is you, you and me, love is knowing, we can be. love is free, free is love, love is living, living love, love is needing to be loved.
