Leaves

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of time like dew on the tip of a leaf.

Rabindranath Tagore

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 NIV

Nature will bear the closest inspection; she invites us to lay our eye level with the smallest leaf.

Henry David Thoreau
