When the fruit appears the blossom drops off. Love of God is the fruit, and rituals are the blossom.
I had a dog who loved flowers. Briskly she went through the fields, yet paused for the honeysuckle or the rose, her dark head and her wet nose touching the face of every one with its petals of silk with its fragrance rising into the air where the bees, their bodies heavy with pollen hovered - and easily she adored every blossom not in the serious careful way that we choose this blossom or that blossom the way we praise or don't praise - the way we love or don't love - but the way we long to be - that happy in the heaven of earth - that wild, that loving.
There are days we live
as if death were nowhere
in the background; from joy
to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.
The bud disappears when the blossom breaks through, and we might say that the former is refuted by the latter; in the same way when the fruit comes, the blossom may be explained to be a false form of the plant's existence, for the fruit appears as its true nature in place of the blossom.
I love people who go on stage and blossom like a weird flower.
By Chivalries as tiny, A Blossom, or a Book, The seeds of smiles are planted- Which Blossom in the dark.
People tell all sorts of lies in order to live. That enables friendships to form and love to blossom.
Strangely enough I'm better on a stage. I love that I feel like I blossom in front of a whole bunch of people.
Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.
Love must blossom. Through love will grow the trees and the bushes.
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.
As Christ is the blossom of humanity, so the blossom of every man is Christ perfected in him.
Am I accurately reporting what I see in such a blossom? The answer is no ... and yes.
We complain and complain, but we have lived and seen the blossom -apple, pear, cherry, plum, almond blossom - in the sun; and the best among us cannot pretend they deserve - or could contrive - anything better.
I love festivals in that people seem to let their hair down more. I love that people run from stage to stage. I love going as a performer because you get to see band that you wouldn't necessarily go see.
I love Jo Malone. I got the Orange Blossom scent as a gift many years ago, and I fell in love with it. It's very light, natural, sweet. It's there but not that obvious.
