When I think of little flowers that grow in grass, and little streams and places where we can lie and look up at the clouds—oh, I simply ache for them—for them with you.

I plant my heart in the earth. I water it with light. The sweet, green tentacles of Spring urge toward the light. Sweetness follows them. Oh, light that nourishes life-let us be mirrors of your splendor. Let us be givers of the light. Air, water, earth are all we need. And the miracle of the heart alive with light.
Erica Jong, from Holding on to the Light
