More From Shane Koyczan

A flower is not a flower. it is made only of non-flower elements - sunshine, clouds, time, space, earth, minerals, gardeners, and so on. a true flower contains the whole universe. if we return any one of these non-flower elements to its source, there will be no flower.

And now you ask in your heart, ‘how shall we distinguish that which is good in pleasure from that which is not good?’ go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, but it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. for to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, and to the flower a bee is a messenger of love, and to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy. * people of orphalese, be in your pleasures like the flowers and the bees.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

I have a friend who's an artist, and he sometimes takes a view which i don't agree with. he'll hold up a flower and say, "look how beautiful it is," and i'll agree. but then he'll say, "i, as an artist, can see how beautiful a flower is. but you, as a scientist, take it all apart and it becomes dull." i think he's kind of nutty. [...] there are all kinds of interesting questions that come from a knowledge of science, which only adds to the excitement and mystery and awe of a flower. it only adds. i don't understand how it subtracts.

The avalanche of time sweeps everything before it. every individual instant hurtles into oblivion, drowning out the obliteration of the instant immediately preceding it, and then it too disappears under the onslaught of the next and the next and the next. when the avalanche has shuddered past for a long enough time, the perception of the past evolves. distant events grow beyond mere history and take on the weight of legend.
Time Past Long
To be beautiful means to be yourself.you don't need to be accepted by others. you need to accept yourself. when you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don't try to be a magnolia flower. if you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. true happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.
