Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.
~ John Muir
May Light always surround you;
Hope kindle and rebound you.
May your Hurts turn to Healing;
Your Heart embrace Feeling.
May Wounds become Wisdom;
Every Kindness a Prism.
May Laughter infect you;
Your Passion resurrect you.
May Goodness inspire
your Deepest Desires.
Through all that you Reach For,
May your arms Never Tire.
- D. Simone

Beautiful message from Richard Gere: "There's no time for anything else... It's life and no one escapes this living world. There's still time, so live for fun, maybe tomorrow is no more. Eat what you want, walk in the sun , bathe in the sea... Be crazy, be silly. There's no time for anything else...
Gardening is how I relax. It's another form of creating and playing with colors.
~ Oscar de la Renta
A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust. ~ Gertrude Jekyll ~
You have to appreciate every single day that you're alive. Life is a little bit like a garden - you have to find time to plant the seeds for beautiful flowers to grow.
~ Oscar de la Renta
“A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.”
