“We have almost forgotten whether rainbows still appear in our skies,
whether morning dew still rests upon the earth.
Do we wake each morning to hear the birds singing in the air?
Have we ever tasted a flower and discovered the sweetness hidden within its pollen?
Have we ever gazed upon our sleeping child and noticed the gentle smile upon their face?
We have forgotten these simple wonders because we are too consumed by our endless pursuit of wealth, status,
recognition, and happiness — always wanting more, far beyond what is necessary, far beyond what is enough.
We forget that, even if we possess a hundred rai of land on which to grow rice to sustain our lives,
should we not also reserve just one square wah of land to grow flowers for our souls?”
— Thawan Duchanee
"เราแทบจะลืมไปแล้วว่าเรามีรุ้งตะวันหรือเปล่ามีหยาดน้ำค้างไหม
ตอนเช้าตื่นขึ้นมาเห็นนกร้องเพลงในอากาศหรือเปล่า
เราเคยชิมดอกไม้ไหมว่าท่ามกลางเกษรดอกไม้มีความหวานอยู่
เราเคยมองลูกที่หลับอยู่แล้วมีรอยยิ้มอยู่ในหน้าไหม
เราลืมสิ่งเหล่านี้เพราะเราดิ้นรนกระหวนกระหายอยากได้ลาภยศสรรเสริญสุขมากเกินไปเกินงาม เกินพอดี
ลืมไปว่าแท้ที่จริงต่อให้เรามีที่ดินสักร้อยไร่เพื่อปลูกข้าวสำหรับเลี้ยงชีพ
เราเราควรจะมีที่สักวาหนึ่งไหมสำหรับปลูกดอกไม้ให้แก่ดวงวิญญาณ"

When I was seven years old, there was a particularly long rainy season in Thailand.
Every day, I enjoyed the scent of rain mingling with the earth. It was the sweetest and most unforgettable fragrance
I had ever experienced in my life.
Flowers came back to life. Animals seemed happier. Every plant turned green, and everything around me felt alive again.
I especially loved the moments when the rain finally stopped and the sun began to shine once more. The warmth of the sunlight, the colors of the sky, and the way the light touched the wet earth were simply beautiful.
Each morning, I carried a large school bag and wore a cheap plastic raincoat as I walked from my dormitory to school through the flooded streets. There was water everywhere.
We would see tiny creatures emerging from beneath the ground—snakes, scorpions, and even fish that had wandered far from the river as the rising water reached the surrounding land. I loved collecting these little creatures, playing with them for a while, and eventually releasing them back into nature when I could no longer think of anything else to do with them.
Whenever the rain stopped, little temporary lakes appeared everywhere. I would gather fallen leaves from the large trees nearby and turn them into tiny boats, setting them afloat and watching to see how far each one could travel.
Sometimes, the rain continued for an entire week without stopping.
Large trees would collapse across the roads, blocking our way.
We had to rush outside and help drag them aside.
And somehow, through all those rainy days,
the world seemed full of life, wonder, and endless possibilities.
