from L MORGAN

“There is an aloneness that is not loneliness, and not despair, and western medicine hasn’t got a clue. It is something like a profound closeness with your own being, an intimacy with the quiet passing of things, friendship with the broken and the transient within and without. While you quietly grieve over yesterday’s dreams of tomorrows that never came, you hold today so close in your arms. You are the mother of today.”
— Jeff Foster

Who will remember happiness? I can recall that they are dead. I know that heaven cracked one day, And only God knows what they said. Allen Tate

BUT I DO BELIEVE I AM NEARER TO AN ANSWER, GENTLE HANDS

AND I IMAGINE EVEN MORE OF THE ANSWER WILL BE IN THE GARDEN.

DON’T GO HUNTING IN URGENCY OUT THERE IN THE WORLD YOU DON’T CARE FOR.

LOOK IN THE GARDEN.

LISTEN TO THE CHILDREN.
