"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not." --Georgia O'Keefe
Daisies Made All The Difference
Sometimes our simplest gestures have far-reaching effects. One writer for the Christian Science Monitor tells this story,"Each year when the oxeye daisies bloom on our Michigan farm, I pick bouquets for our home. My husband, John, planted the acres with red Flanders poppies, blue bachelor's buttons, and daisies ... Over the years, the perennial daisies have spread throughout the farm; and in the hayfields, they float like clouds as the wind ripples the grass. My penchant for picking daisies germinated in my youth – and a particular bouquet brought great rewards."
