You should entreat trees and rocks to preach the Dharma, and you should ask rice fields and gardens for the truth. Ask pillars for the Dharma, and learn from hedges and walls. In earth, stones, sand, and pebbles, there is to be found the extremely inconceivable mind which moves the sincere heart. — Dogen Zenji

Yes, these earthly things harbor eternal truths, as does the blurred house over your back fence, a romantic, mystic place from which bears come, sometimes; things are not always what they seem.
