In my Mother's Garden V
"Behold a beautiful garden full of flowers,
shrubs, and trees.
Each flower has a different charm,
a peculiar beauty,
its own delicious perfume and beautiful colour.
The trees too, how varied are they in size,
in growth, in foliage --
and what different fruits they bear!
Yet all these flowers,
shrubs and trees spring
from the self-same earth,
the same sun shines upon them
and the same clouds give them rain."
Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 52
