One
thing is sure. The earth is now more cultivated and developed than ever before.
There is more farming with pure force, swamps are drying up, and cities are
springing up on unprecedented scale. We’ve become a burden to our planet.
Resources are becoming scarce, and soon nature will no longer be able to
satisfy our needs.”
Quintus
Septimus Florens Tertullianus, Roman theologian, 200 AD
The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

“Plants
are nature’s alchemists, expert at transforming water, soil and sunlight into
an array of precious substances, many of them beyond the ability of human
beings to conceive, much less manufacture.”

Love and
magic have a great deal in common. They enrich the soul, delight the heart. And
they both take practice.

Rodavento
“A
human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in
time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something
separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This
delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and
to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free
ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all
living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
