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 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.
