1) Quote: "Rosemary Gladstar often calls plants 'little green teachers.' Once while visiting our farm, she gave an interview to a reporter. She was talking about how much she has learned from the plants, how she considers them her most important teachers. The reporter, a little confused by these comments, asked "What could you possibly learn from a tree?'
Rosemary looked the reporter in the eye and said, very matter-of-factly, 'Patience.' .... For many people, spirituality and philosophy come from books and lectures, not nature. Trees and shrubs and flowers can't talk, so how could they possibly teach us anything?"
From page 8 in this library book: The Herbalist's Garden.
2) In a bookstore, I read some of The Glass Castle.
3) But I also took in some sky and rose hips and birds today. (Here.)
