Garden Quotes Quotes

ripens in one corner,
while a pomegranate of faith
bursts open in another.

Vivid tulips unfurl
their petals of dreams,
as hybrid lilies embrace
the sturdy guava’s roots.

Mimosa of forgiveness,
Basil of kindness,
and mint of tolerance
sway in harmony,
whispering peace
to the passing breeze.”

“Fragrances lift the vibrational frequencies of an area, garden or room. If the fragrance is of a natural origin, preferably floral, then there are certain blessings attached to smelling it. It heightens the thoughts of humans in the vicinity and helps soothe bad moods or argumentative residents. Fragrance is also a bridge between the human and angelic worlds and helps communication between species. Do not underestimate the power of fragrance; it can change the mood and situations in whole regions. All the while, the residents remain oblivious, to the fragrance’s pivotal importance, in the natural world. Without fragrance, the world would be a poorer place.”
“Fragrance helps lighten one’s mood, and countenance and help lift depression and lethargy. Fragrance plays a big role in why people are more energetic in spring, once all the flowers in blossom come out en-masse.”
