Rules & directions how to watch flowers #990:

Every single leaf of grass counts.

[soysomos]

“I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey work of the stars, And the pismire is equally perfect, and a grain of sand, and the egg of the wren, And the tree-toad is a chef-d’oeuvre for the highest, And the running blackberry would adorn the parlors of heaven, And the narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery, And the cow crunching with depress’d head surpasses any statue, And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels. “

Walt Whitman Leaves of grass  

[vadoaest]

Quando scruto la conquistata fama degli eroi e le vittorie  dei potenti generali, non invidio i generali,  né il Presidente nel suo ufficio presidenziale, né il ricco nella sua ricca casa,  ma quando sento la fratellanza degli amanti, come hanno fatto,  come insieme nella vita, attraverso pericoli, abominio, che mai cambia,  ancora e ancora,  attraverso la giovinezza e poi da adulti e da vecchi, com'erano risoluti,  com'erano amorevoli, com'erano fedeli.  E poi divento pensoso...e vado via stizzito pieno di un'amara invidia.

Walt Whitman, Quando scruto la conquistata fama in Foglie d’erba

I can almost imagine a happiness without her, the ability to let her go, to feel our roots are connected even if I never see that leaf of grass again.
