A Lesson from Nature.

I saw a delicate flower had grown up two feet high, between the horses' path and the wheel track. An Inch more to right or left had sealed lta fate, or an Inch higher; and yet it lived to flourish as much as If It had a thousand acres of untrodden space around it. and never knew the danger it incurred. It did not borrow trouble, nor invite an evil fate by apprehending it—Henry D. Thoreau (1817-1862).
