"Whenever I touch a flower, I touch the sun and yet I don't get burned.
When I touch the flower, I touch a cloud without flying to the sky.
When I touch the flower, I touch my consciousness, your consciousness,
and the great planet Earth at the same time.

The miracle is possible because of insight into the nature of interbeing.
If you really touch one flower deeply, you touch the whole cosmos.
The cosmos is neither one nor many. When you touch one, you touch many,
and when you touch many, you touch one.."

~Thich Nhat Hanh
