what else can we learn from grass?
"Observe, the peculiar characters of the grass, which adapt it especially for the service of man, are its apparent humility and cheerfulness. Its humility, in that it seems created only for lowest service,-- appointed to be trodden on, and fed upon. Its cheerfulness in that it seems to exult under all kinds of violence and suffering. You roll in it, and it is stronger the next day; you mow it, and it multiplies its shoots, as if it were grateful; you tread upon it, and it only sends up richer perfume."
-the true and the beautiful
these little shoots, these little blades
reaching reaching towards the sky
often neglected and un-thanked
for their service and their love
toward that which lies above.
"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant..."
Philippians 2:5-7
