The Garden Party

Quote 9 - 6 - 12

11 years ago

I used to dress up and impersonate our next-door neighbor, Miss Cox. She wore rubber boots, a wool hat, and her nose always dripped.

Tracey Ullman

We all need somebody to talk to. It would be good if we talked... not just pitter-patter, but real talk. We shouldn't be so afraid, because most people really like this contact; that you show you are vulnerable makes them free to be vulnerable.

Liv Ullmann

After all it is those who have a deep and real inner life who are best able to deal with the irritating details of outer life.

Talk, really talk, is good, but don't do it on facebook.

Third one nailed it.

"After all, it is those who have a deep and real inner life who are best able to deal with the irritating details of outer life."
Evelyn Underhill

---it is so real, I can hear what the garden is saying while I'm working,
I've 'seen' the garden partying in the night and at the end of summer when all riotous rythmn breaks loose and I give up and join the fun.

It feels strange sometimes, having to go back to using my voice to communicate.

Thank you, Don!
