Kiss of the sun for pardon.
Song of the birds for mirth.
You're closer to God's heart in a garden
than any place else on earth.

Who loves a garden
Finds within his soul
Life's whole;
He hears the anthem of the soil
While ingrates toil;
And sees beyond his little sphere
The waving fronds of heaven, clear.

Contemplate the workings of this world, listen to the words of the
wise, and take all that is good as your own. With this as your base,
open your own door to truth. Do not overlook the truth that is right
before you. Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly
and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and
wise people. Everything - even mountains, rivers, plants,
and trees - should be your teacher.

- Morihei Ueshiba (1883 - 1969), founder of Aikido

The soul garden

Just as the heart becomes carefree

in a place of green , growing plants

goodwill and kindness are born when our souls enter happiness .

I am the dust in the sunlight, I am the ball of the sun . . .

I am the mist of morning, the breath of evening . . . .
I am the spark in the stone, the gleam of gold in the metal . . . .
The rose and the nightingale drunk with its fragrance.

I am the chain of being, the circle of the spheres,
The scale of creation, the rise and the fall.
I am what is and is not . . .

I am the soul in all.

- RUMI

Re: The secret life of plants

Approaching a tree we approach a sacred being who can

teach us about love and about endless giving.

She is one of millions of beings who provide our air,

our homes, our fuel, our books. Working with

the spirit of the tree can bring us renewed energy,

powerful inspiration, deep communion.

- Druid Tree Lore

Adansonia digitata or BOAB tree

Family: Malvaceae
Common names: baobab, Cream of Tartar tree, monkey-bread tree, lemonade tree (Eng.); kremetartboom(Afr.); isimuku, umShimulu, isiMuhu (Zulu); ximuwu (Tsonga); mowana (Tswana); muvhuyu (Venda)

Regarded as the largest succulent plant in the world, the baobab tree is steeped in a wealth of mystique, legend and superstition wherever it occurs in Africa. It is a tree that can provide, food, water, shelter and relief from sickness.

Description
Often referred to as 'grotesque' by some authors, the main stem of larger baobab trees may reach enormous proportions of up to 28 m in girth. Although baobab trees seldom exceed a height of 25 m. The massive, usually squat cylindrical trunk gives rise to thick tapering branches resembling a root-system, which is why it has often been referred to as the upside-down tree. There is a tale which tells of how God planted them upside-down. Many traditional Africans believe that the baobab actually grows upside-down.
