Clouds Quotes
-

I raise my hand; I take a book from the other side of this desk; I hear the boys playing ball outside my window; I see the clouds blown away beyond the neighboring woods:-in all these I am practicing Zen, I am living Zen. No worldly discussion is necessary, or any explanation.

Some of the same self-certified smart people, who preached about mushroom clouds and weapons of mass destruction, are once again trying to stampede us into war.

We've been there and done that, and America is still paying for their past failure.
Lloyd Doggett

A cauliflower shows how an object can be made of many parts, each of which is like a whole, but smaller. Many plants are like that.
