“« Chaque humain présent sur la terre pour s’instruire et s’améliorer est une fleur qui doit s’ouvrir avec sa couleur spécifique et son propre arôme ; ce sont là des richesses qui doivent être offertes à tous. Chaque bonne pensée est une fleur qui s’épanouit dans l’intellect. Chaque sentiment noble une fleur dans le cœur. Et chaque action intègre une fleur dans la volonté humaine. Grâce à l’arôme de ces trois fleurs vous pouvez jouir de la santé et de l’harmonie dans tout votre être. La floraison de la vie est un processus éternel qui s’accomplit non seulement dans les pensées, sentiments et actions mais plus encore dans l’amour. Les fleurs sont les enfants des anges, leurs tableaux. Il ne faut ni cueillir ni piétiner les fleurs car on foule alors et on détruit une pensée ou un sentiment d’un ange. Les hommes sont encore des enfants turbulents et inconséquents. Les anges s’occupent non seulement des végétaux mais aussi de tous les règnes de la nature. »”
― Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov, Le Message de la Fleur: Les sentiers de la métamorphose (EVERA)

― Omar Khayyám, Quatrains - Ballades

Beguiled by dreams of evanescent dew?

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.”
― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
