GOD’S GREEN EARTH (AND ITS FRUIT): Organic Golden Beets – Freshfields Farm
“Humility is the luxurious art of reducing ourselves to a point, not to a small thing or a large one, but to a thing with no size at all, so that all cosmic things are what they are—of immeasurable stature. That the trees are high and the grasses short is a mere accident of our own foot rules and our own stature. But to the spirit which has stripped off for a moment its own idle temporal standards, the grass is an everlasting forest, with dragons for denizens; the stones of the road are as incredible mountains piled one upon the other; the dandelions are like gigantic bonfires illuminating the lands around; and the heath bells on their stalks are like planets hung in heaven each higher than the other…But the towering and tropical vision of things as they really are—the gigantic daisies, the heaven-consuming dandelions, the great Odyssey of strange-colored oceans—all this colossal vision shall perish with the last of the humble.”
