Quotes from the Unenlightened One

The leaves are 'holey' because it is near to heaven.
---One


Do not be in a hurry to collect seeds which are not ready.
Build your patience while waiting for them to ripen.
---One


The thoughts of uprooting defilements may seem overwhelming.

  5. One, i laughed so loudly in that first one! I like it. Now you can be quoted, don't worry if i do, i will always put your name, hehe. Kidding aside, that first photo is very artistic, it is just like an embroidered plant, or let's say the 'holey plant. Lastly, i've been to a big garden center's sale, but i only bought the cheapest, a variegated pineapple plant. The seller chose the biggest plant, but i changed to the smallest because i told her, the thrill is not in getting the fruit but the time appreciating the leaves growing. I saw lots of plants i've seen for the first time, maybe imported. I cannot buy more because i dont have a place to take care of them, am living on the 5th floor. My hoya is hanging outside the window.

  6. I enjoyed the One philosophy. Your 'holey' image is very pretty and I like the pun. Are the insects the little angles making the holes?
