Quote by Georgia OKeeffe
When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, its you

When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, its your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not. – Georgia OKeeffe
