A Park worth saving
"The garden of the heart is green and moist with buds and blooms of jasmine, rose and cypress. The boughs are hidden by a mass of leaves, a mass of flowers conceals the plain and palace.
These words that come from universal mind are scents of cypress, roses, hyacinths.
Have you smelled roses where there were no roses? Have you seen foaming wine where there was none?
The fragrance is your guide and your companion, it bears you up to Paradise."~Rumi
