“One flower has a thousand petals” (a gift from my friend to you)

"First Generation Tulips"

“Don’t go outside to see the flowers,

My friend, don’t bother with that excursion.

Inside your body there are flowers.

One flower has a thousand petals.

That will do for a place to sit.

Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty

Inside the body and out of it,

Before the gardens and after gardens.”

~ Kabir
