and life becomes a wonderful place of clear thoughts and calm.
You know things are as right as they should be.

Antique botanical illustration showing a pot of Matricaria inodoria from late 1890s. Matricaria is a genus of flowering plants in the chamomile tribe within the sunflower family. They are hardy, pleasantly aromatic annuals, growing along roadsides in ruderal communities and in fallow land rich in nutrients. Though many are considered nuisance weeds, they are suitable for rock gardens and herb gardens, and as border plants.[1]
The word chamomile is derived via French and Latin, from the Greek χαμαίμηλον, khamaimēlon, 'earth apple', from χαμαί, khamai, 'on the ground', and μῆλον, mēlon, 'apple'.First used in the 13th century, the spelling chamomile corresponds to the Latin chamomilla and the Greek chamaimelon. The spelling camomile is a British derivation from the French.[2]
