Pay attention to the weeds outside your door.

Wherever you're living, educate your heart.

~Martin Shaw

Every wildflower and weed, every tree and plant of the forest has a peak moment of visibility - its moment of arresting vitality, when, no matter how hidden or small, it may be easily noticed by any curious passerby. 

If you follow the life cycle of any plant in every day of every year of every weather, its genius enlivens your body, your mind, your spirit.
