"Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise."
-George Washington Carver
"Osayin (the master gardener) is the original keeper of all vegetation on earth. He, like Yemaya (the ocean, essence of motherhood and protector of children), is very old and wise. He is the orixa of healing (herbal medicine) and magic and holds all the secrets of the lands and forests. He works through the air and fire element. Osayin is so powerful that it is said he cannot be settled fully in the head of his "horse" (medium). His colours are green, yellow and white. He also uses green and brown at times and has been represented as St. Francis or St. Joseph, who are healers in the Catholic tradition." (source)

Nice. Thanks for contemplating this connection. More please.
I love this because it's strikes the essence, revealing the spiritual power, peace and freedom in simple, humble good word. Came back to this post because as I was flicking through the dictionary studying vocab I stumbled on Nike, the Greek goddess, and thought of Nike, the brand. If the corporation is the 21st century church, in partnership with the State, dangerous is the time where all work becomes branded, and all workers rush to brand themselves with a mark, for others to idolize and mimic in acts of pseudo-inspiration.
