Much use has been made of simple yet exact teachings about ?owers and birds and the little animals, because I believe with the author of The Making of Matthias: The skies and the ?owers, the winds and the stars — they are of God and they carry God's message. That is life — to love all that God has made. Love every ?ower, and every tree, and the birds and beasts; hurt nothing, and respect everything, for love is God.
