Quotes about Grass

"Savannas are magnificent wildflower gardens. Something is always blooming grass pink orchids, rose pogonia, rosebud orchids, ladies' tresses. In the heat of the summer the fringed orchids are torches through the meadows. Blue-eyed and yellow eyed grass, white eyed sedge. Meadow beauties. Fall brings on the composites, purple spires of liatris, also called blazing star, brown rayless sunflowers, goldenrod, bigelowia and coreopsis. The aster balduina pools like orange juice in the wettest places and clumps of pearl-tipped hatpins stick the carpet of forbs to the flat earth. White violets hover low."

I felt that I had not one worry, not one burden, nothing was on my mind accept that breeze that made the curtains swell like balloons.

The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence.  No, not at all.  Fences have nothing to do with it.  The grass is greenest where it is watered.  When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass where ever you may be.

Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.

"Be more humble than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, always offering respect onto others and never expecting any in return"

There are those who, attracted by grass, flowers, mountains, and waters, flow into the Buddha Way.
