More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

All our progress is an unfolding, like the vegetable bud. you have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason. it is vain to hurry it. by trusting it to the end it shall ripen into truth, and you shall know why you believe.

You are good when you strive to give of yourself. yet you are not evil when you seek gain for yourself. for when you strive for gain you are but a root that clings to the earth and sucks at her breast. surely the fruit cannot say to the root, 'be like me, ripe and full and ever giving of your abundance.' for to the fruit giving is a need as receiving is a need to the root.

Real Creativity Expression
The earth is a machine which yields almost gratuitous service to every application of intellect. every plant is a manufacturer of soil. in the stomach of the plant development begins. the tree can draw on the whole air, the whole earth, on all the rolling main. the plant is all suction-pipe,--imbibing from the ground by its root, from the air by its leaves, with all its might.

Science Roots Evil
She was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bees, the gold of the sun and the panting breath of the breeze when the inaudible voice of it all came to her. she saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight.

The stronghold of the contemplation of christ's glory affords the soul rest, for it will be made evident that our troubles grow on the root of an over-valuation of temporal things. the mind is its own greatest troubler.
