“And love, who can say the way it winds.. like a serpent in the garden of our untroubled minds”

“Our love is like the wind... I cant see it, but I sure can feel it.”

“Our hearts do not need logic.They can love and forgive and accept that which our minds cannot comprehend.Hearts understand in ways minds cannot.”

“A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.”

“I gasp, and I'm Eve in the Garden of Eden, and he's the serpent, and I cannot resist.”

“In the same way that the picturesque designers were always careful to include some reminder of our mortality in their gardens -- a ruin, sometimes even a dead tree -- the act of leaving parts of the garden untended, and calling attention to its margins, seems to undermine any pretense to perfect power or wisdom on the part of the gardener. The margins of our gardens can be tropes too, but figures of irony rather than transcendence -- antidotes, in fact, to our hubris. It may be in the margins of our gardens that we can discover fresh ways to bring our aesthetics and our ethics about the land into some meaningful alignment.”
