I think this is so true. Many things in nature can speak to us with their colors, their form, their simplicity and their beauty. All we have to do is to take time to enjoy them.

Beauty For The Soul
I think this is so true. Many things in nature can speak to us with their colors, their form, their simplicity and their beauty. All we have to do is to take time to enjoy them.

"They tell us that plants are not like man immortal, but are perishable, soul-less. I think that is something that we know absolutely nothing about." John Muir (1838-1914) Scotland/USA
What do you think? Are plants soul-less? Are they just put on this earth to give us nourishment or enjoyment for a brief period of time and then are gone? What happens to them after they dry up and become part of the soil? Are they just gone or do they live on in the substance that they become a part of? How do we know what happens to anything, human, animal or plant after it's served it's purpose here? Faith and religion guide us in some regards, but perhaps not in others. I think John Muir's quote is probably correct. There are just some things that we know nothing about.
