Cosmos

One of my very favorite garden plantings are Cosmos. They, for me, give the carefree look of an informal garden.

“One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego. The self is more distant than any star.” G.K. Chesterton

Bursting with Passion…………

“Everyday I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad.
I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it.” ~Claude Monet

Dawn’s Delight

“We went down into the silent garden. Dawn is the time when nothing breathes, the hour of silence. Everything is transfixed, only the light moves.” Leonora Carrington

Prickly Thorn, But Sweetly Worn

‘So lovely to see, to consider, to embrace. The dangers, the obvious outcomes. Ignored. Remnants of the pain remains, the sweet pain upon reflection.’   SwittersB

Contagious Disorder: Spread the Love

Have you noticed of late, the reaching out by others to spread the love? Perhaps it is the chaotic tempo of world affairs. It could be we realize part of us, as a culture, as an individual, is going numb with the overload of depressing events. Couple that with an inner sense that we are being played on many levels and we are reverting toward, digging back down toward basic truths and values.

One of those is reaching out to help those around you. I see a sincere sharing of positive energy. Not the flower child, glassy eyed mantras of the 60’s (yes I was alive then) but rather mature, seasoned, real love. Shared for the betterment of those we touch…for no other purpose than we know, now, at our core that we must do this at a one on one level to stay human, to stay at inner peace, to lift others near and far.

Person to person! No government, no media, no agendas for power, wealth or control. Simply spread the contagion of love. Thank you to the positive ones around me…bless you!

not right, but your beauty shines through.

You show no fright, keeping self in sight”
