Ancient men an the ancient women were able to see through a veil to a firm, invisible being

on the other side of the screen of Nature.


” Its not what you look at…. it’s what you see .”

Henry David Thoreau


“ Nobody sees a flower, really. To see takes time, like to have a friend takes time,”

Georgia O’Keefe


“ These are the plant Teachers, I know them. Our elders show us early how to see them. It takes a lot of energy for them to come to us in a way that we can recognize, a form which appeals to us and for which we have an affinity. The plants are trying to help us ”

Malidoma Some, chief shaman of the African Dagara tribe



“ The natural world is a spiritual house. We walk there through forests of physical things that are also spiritual things; they watch us with affectionate looks. “

Charles Baudelaire, French poet
