The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great if the inward is small or of little worth.
~ Meister Eckhart
In praise of redwoods, ancient trees:
I think that could the weary world but know
Communion with these spirits breathing peace
Strangely a veil would lift, a light would glow,
And the dark tumult of our lives would cease.
