the garden’s change is constant & accelerated in this Summer’s heat. Fleeting beauty isn’t lingering for long this year. I long all Winter for these moments and this year the pace is faster. Visible changes within a day or two rather than loitering around for a week.
‘When the blackbird flew out of sight,
It marked the edge
Of one of many circles.’
Wallace Stevens
“Aging reminds you of your ungratefulness of yesterday.” Benjamin Tolosa
“Evenings and mornings represent “the gates” to your inner universe. Taking care of how you enter and exit these “gates” is your primary responsibility; do not give away this power. Once you master it, life will never be the same again.” Stan Jacobs, The Dawn and Dusk Master (this is something, for me, euphoric in these moments in nature)
Run down house & out buildings. You can tell it use to be a nice property, well maintained. Then things happened and no one keeps up. The sad progression of events.
“April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks Go.” Christopher Morley, John Mistletoe
