Old Chinese proverb: "When you're down to your last 2 cents -

Upbeat · May 16, 2008

"buy a loaf of bread with one and a lily with the other."
While food sustains our bodies, nature's beauty sustains our souls.
Needless to say, food prices have increased dramatically since this proverb was penned. Perhaps the price of a lily, too.
Still, anyone can have a soul-soothing look at something of nature's wonders without spending a penny for it.
