In solitude ...

In solitude, where we are least alone.

Lord Byron

Sitting quietly, doing nothing ...

Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes

and the grass grows by itself.

Zen Proverb

Sorry for the lapse in days ....

So sorry for the lapse in days, but I've travelled so much I'm in a haze!

But you can keep up with my garden visits here!

The Galloping Gardener

... what lies dimly in the distance ...

Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance,

but to do what lies clearly at hand.

Thomas Carlyle

For to be free ...

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in

a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

Nelson Mandela

Every spring is the only spring ...

Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment.

Ellis Peters

Beauty often seduces us ....

Beauty often seduces us on the road to truth.

David Shore
