Sunday Serenity - Two Thoughts...

Flowers are the sweetest things God
ever made and forgot to put a soul into.
- Henry Ward Beecher, Life Thoughts




Are we, finally, speaking of nature or culture when
we speak of a flower (nature), that has been bred (culture)
so that its blossoms (nature) make men
imagine (culture) the sex of women (nature)?
It may be this sort of confusion that we need more of.

- Michael Pollan, Second Nature, 1991
