Today's Beautiful Gem: "Cleanthus Trilling"
from the "Spoon River Anthology" by Edgar Lee Masters

"The urge of the seed: the germ.
The urge of the germ: the stalk.
The urge of the stalk: leaves.
The urge of the leaves: the blossom.
The urge of the blossom: to scatter pollen.
The urge of the pollen: the imagined dream of life.
The urge of life: longing for tomorrow.
The urge of tomorrow: Pain.
The urge of Pain: God."

Om Santih! Peace! - J. K. Mohana Rao
