“When one becomes worthy to hear the song of plants, how each plant speaks its song to God, how beautiful and sweet it is to hear the singing!
It is good indeed to serve God in the middle of them all, wandering alone over the fields between growing things.
All the speech of the fields then enters into your own and intensifies its strength.
With every breath you drink in the air of paradise, and when you return home the world is renewed in your eyes.”
Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav, 18th century Ukraine
