By creating we think, by living we learn

By creating we think, by living we learn

“How many people think twice about a leaf? Yet the leaf is the chief product and phenomenon of Life: this is a green world, with animals comparatively few and small, and all dependent upon the leaves. By leaves we live.

But growth seems slow: and people are all out for immediate results, like immediate votes or immediate money. A garden takes years and years to grow – ideas also take time to grow, and while a sower knows when his corn will ripen, the sowing of ideas is, as yet, a far less certain affair.”

Sir Patrick Geddes (1854-1932)

-David Samm

    Really beautiful. It makes me want to be an environmental artist so I can share pretty places like this. Wow.
