"Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show you the way back to God, to the Source, to yourself. When you look at it or hold it & let it be without imposing a word of mental label on it, a sense of awe, of wonder, arises within you. Its essence silently communicates itself to you and reflects your own essence back to you." 

-Eckhart Tolle

"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God: But only he who sees takes off his shoes."
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
