The Tree
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
– William Blake

Watching
Watching gardeners label their plants, I vow with all beings, to practice the old horticulture and let plants identify me.

Home
This month I am using quotes from the wonderful book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, by Charlie Mackesy.
“Sometimes I feel lost,” said the boy.
“Me too,” said the mole, “but we love you, and love brings you home. I think everyone is just trying to get home.”
“Home isn’t always a place, is it?”

The Way
This month I am using quotes from the wonderful book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, by Charlie Mackesy.
“We have such a long way to go,” sighed the boy.
Yes, but look how far we’ve come,” said the horse.

Focus on What You Love
This month I am using quotes from the wonderful book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, by Charlie Mackesy.
“When the dark clouds come . . . keep going. When the big things feel out of control . . . focus on what you love right under your nose.”

The Best Kind of Glass
This month I am using quotes from the wonderful book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, by Charlie Mackesy.
“Is your glass half empty or half full?” asked the mole.
“I think I’m grateful to have a glass,” said the boy.

Should Life Be Perfect?
This month I am using quotes from the wonderful book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, by Charlie Mackesy.
“The greatest illusion,” said the mole, “is that life should be perfect.”

Happy Fathers’ Day
This month I am using quotes from the wonderful book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, by Charlie Mackesy.
“What do you think success is?” asked the boy. “To love,” said the mole.

Being Brave
This month I am using quotes from the wonderful book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, by Charlie Mackesy.
“Sometimes,” said the horse.
“Sometimes what?” asked the boy.
“Sometimes just getting up and carrying on is brave and magnificent.”
