Inhabited Garden

Have a spirit so beautiful
that when people see you
all they notice is your glow.
Germany Kent




I place a high moral value
on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the spirit. Fran Lebowitz




In hard times, people don't want to be told to look on the bright side. They want to know you're on their side. Adam Grant




Crinum asiaticum, a type of spider lily

A star 
never lets anything
dull its sparkle,
not even darkness.
 Matshona Dhliwayo







Sometimes the most urgent
and vital thing you can
possibly do is take
a complete rest.

To know someone who thinks & feels with us, and who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden. Goethe

Love the dog pic there. She looks so innocent

Is that a dog or pig looking out of the car window.

What beautiful flowers and thoughtful quotes. Pixie is adorable...but I wouldn't say that about the pup...kind of cute. Happy May Day/Beltane!

I love the Adam Grant quote. People don't need bromides when they are hurting. They need support.

The image attached to quote of glow was absolutely perfect. Hugs to you and Pixie.

Where's the button to help that flower burst into bloom? Oh, I'm supposed to observe and learn patience. Okay...... Linda in Kansas
