where they grow."
- Dolly Parton
"The mind I love must have wild
places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy
grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two,
a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded
with flowers planted by the mind.'- Katherine
Mansfield

True obedience:
silently the flowers speak
to the inner ear
---Onitsura
"There can
be no other occupation like gardening in which, if you were to
creep up behind someone at their work, you would find them smiling."
----Mirabel
Osler
