The rose is without why
She blooms because she blooms
She does not care for herself
Asks not if she is seen
--Angelus Silesius (1624-1677) German mystic and poet, convert from Lutheranism to Catholicism, follower of Meister Eckhart, quotes in John O'Donohue, Walking in Wonder: Eternal Wisdom for a Modern World
