Every Blade of Grass Has an Angle

A faded painted quote on the side walk which reads Every Blade of Grass has an angle who bends down and whispers grow grow

This Quote from the Talmud reads "Every blade of grass has an angle that bends down and whispers 'Grow, Grow.'" This was obviously part of an art project that painted such quotes on the side walks near the San Diego Public Library (Main Branch). Unfortunately many of the quotes have aged so much that they are illegible. I hope that whoever did the project comes back and refreshes the quotes. This particular quote is to be found behind the downtown post office on E street which itself faces the library. The post office building is a beautiful WPA building. I will be posting about it soon.
