To go to the dark with a light
is to know the light
To know the dark , go dark
Go without sight
And find
that dark too blooms,
and sings
and is travelled by dark feet
and dark wings.

Wendyll Berry
Live each season as it passses
Breathe the air
drink the drink
taste the fruit
and resign yourself to
the influences of the earth
H.D.Thoreau
Flower in the crannied wall

Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here root and all in my hand
Little flower- but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.

Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1869
