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

Laying
“More
recently, books, especially paperbacks, have been printed in massive and
inexpensive editions. For the price of a modest meal you can ponder The Decline
and Fall of The Roman Empire, The Origin of Species, The Interpretation of Dreams,
The Nature of Things. Books are like seeds. They can lie dormant for centuries
and then flower in the most unpromising soil.”

Sanctuary
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

“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.”
